Question 279907
"Simplified" is not a clearly defined term.
Can a^3*b^4 be simplifed?
It can be expressed as
{{{b*(ab)^3}}}
Is that more simplified than {{{a^3b^4}}} ?
a^3b^4 has fewer terms, but a larger exponent, and the sum of the exponents is 7 vs 4.
------------
For this to have a definitive answer, "simplify" has to be defined.
