Question

In simplified exponential notation, the expression a²· a^ (-3) · a =A 1/aB 0C 1

Answer 1

Solution

Note: Law of Indices

$\begin{gathered} a^m\times a^n=a^{m+n} \\ and \\ a^0=1 \end{gathered}$

To solve the problem

$\begin{gathered} a^2\times a^{-3}\times a=a^2\times a^{-3}\times a^1 \\ a^2\times a^{-3}\times a=a^{2-3+1} \\ a^2\times a^{-3}\times a=a^0 \\ a^2\times a^{-3}\times a=1 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is

$1$
