write b exponent of 4 times b with a exponent of 2

Question

i need help

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

I would start by writing out the expression, so based on the information given it should be

b^4 * b^2

when you are multiplying exponents like this together with the same base you can just add them together! So it becomes

b^(4 + 2) = b^6

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

If I read the question correctly it looks like b⁴•b². The rule is: if bases are the same, add the exponents for multiplication.
