Question

Shikha has an order from a golf course designer to put palm trees through $a (\times 2^{3})$ machine and then through $(\times 3^{3})$ machine. She thinks she can do the job with a single repeater machine. What single repeater machine should she use?

Solution

A machine $(\times x^{y})$ with input $a$ will give an output $a x^{y}$
When, multiple such machines are hooked up their stretching powers are multiplied.

Machine $1$ is $(\times 2^{3})$
Machine $2$ is $(\times 3^{3})$

As per the law of exponent- $a^{m} \times a^{n} = a^{m + n} & a^{m} b^{m} = (a b)^{m}$
So,
The work that can be performed by the repeater machine is equal to $2^{3} \times 3^{3} = 6^{3}$ .

So, she can use $(\times 6^{3})$ single machine for the same purpose.

In a repeater machine with 0 as an exponent, the base machine is applied 0 times.
What do you think the value of $6^{o}$ is ?
You have seen that a hook up of repeater machines with the same base can be replaced by a single repeater machine. Similarly, when you multiply exponential expressions with the same base, you can replace them with a single expression.
Asif Raza thought about how he could rewrite the expression $2^{2} 0 \times 2^{5}$ .

Asif Raza's idea is one of the product laws of exponents, which can be expressed like this
Multiplying Expressions with the same base $a^{b} \times a^{c} = a^{b + c}$
Actually, this law can be used with more than two expressions. As long as the bases are the same, to find the product you can add the exponents and use the same base.
e.g. $3^{2} \times 3^{3} \times 3^{10} = 3^{2 + 3 + 10} = 3^{15}$
