Simplify the Expression: 8³ × 8 Using Exponent Rules

Question

Simplify the following equation:

$8^3\times8=$

00:00 Simply

00:03 Any number to the power of 1 is always equal to itself

00:07 Let's substitute in our exercise

00:10 According to the laws of exponents, multiplication of powers with equal base (A)

00:13 equals the same base raised to the sum of the exponents (N+M)

00:16 We'll use this formula in our exercise

00:19 We'll sum the exponents and raise to this power

00:22 And this is the solution to the question

$8^{3+1}$
