Given
[tex](x^a)^b=x^{a\ast b}[/tex]
To find:
Using the power of a power rule, what operation do you use when combining exponents?
Explanation:
It is given that,
[tex](x^a)^b=x^{a\ast b}[/tex]
That implies,
The operation used when combing the exponents in the power of a power rule is multiplication.
Hence, the answer is option a) Multiplication.
