1a (xxx)(xxxxx) = (xxxxxxxx)

1b. Addition

2a. There is no quotient to evaluate.

b. Subtract.

3a. (xx)(xx)(xx) = x^6

b. Multiplication

4. (xy)(xy)(xy)(xy) = x^4*y^4

1. a) x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x=x8

- i wrote out all of the x's and added how many there were

b) you can add the exponents [3+5=8]

2. i think you forgot to write down what equation you wanted us to evaluate

3. a) x2*x2*x2=x*x*x*x*x*x=x6

- i wrote out all the x2's, then i broke those down into just x's, then i added how many x's there were.

b) multiply 2*3 [(x2)3] to get 6, then you get x6

4. xyxyxyxy, xxxxyyyy, x4y4

- wrote out the four xy's

- rearranged the variables

- counted the # of variables, put in the exponents for the # of variables

i hope this helps.
x^3 * x^5 = X*X*X * X*X*X*X*X = x^8

The operation performed is addition x^(3+5).

You multiply when it is

(x^2)^3 = x^6
