Question 496636
If you presume the product rule is the property that


*[tex \LARGE x^ax^b = x^{a+b}] (unlike the product rule regarding derivatives of functions)


consider that multiplying x "a" times, followed by multiplying x "b" times will simply result in multiplying x "a+b" times. For example,


*[tex \LARGE 2^22^3 = 2^{2+3} = 2^5 = 32]
