Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
Product of powers:
“The product of two powers with the same base a and different exponents m and n is given by,
That is, while multiplying two powers with same base, the exponents are added and the base will remain the same.
Calculation:
Suppose that, the missing power is x.
Now, use the above formula and find the missing power as shown below.
Therefore, the missing value for the expression is
