Which reason best explains why a4b2 is not equal to (ab)6?

a)there is no reason, because a4b2 is equal to (ab)6.
b)the bases are not the same, so this law of exponents does not apply.
c)4⋅2 is equal to 8, so the exponent should be 8.
d)4−2 is equal to 2, so the exponent should be 2.

B)The bases are not the same, so this law of exponents does not apply.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Now according to law of of exponents which states that.

"When 2 numbers are multiplied which have same base the their exponents are added."

The above given expression is not equal as the base is not equal.

Hence when the bases are not same, so the law of exponent does not apply.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
