Sagot :

Answer:

Your friend made a mistake when multiplying the coefficients of each term and when adding the exponents of each term.

Correct answer: [tex]\left(12a\right)^{7/10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the exponent property [tex]a^b\cdot a^c=a^{(b+c)}[/tex] to solve this problem.

Substituting given values, we get:

[tex]4a^{(\frac{1}{2})}\cdot 3a^{(\frac{1}{5})}=12a^{(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5})}=12a^{(\frac{5}{10}+\frac{2}{10})}=\boxed{12a^{(\frac{7}{10})}}[/tex]

Answer:

Your friend made the mistake of adding the coefficents and multiplying the exponents (instead of mulitplying the coefficents and adding the exponents)

The correct answer is: [tex]12a^{\frac{7}{10}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When mulitiplying exponentials with the same base you mulitply their coefficents and add their exponents.

Your friend made the mistake of adding the coefficents and multiplying the exponents
