Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The Product Rule of Exponents states that when multiplying two terms with the same base, you can add the exponents.

So, 7^5 * 7^2 = 7^(5+2) = 7^7.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 7^7.

The Product Rule of Exponents states that when multiplying two powers with the same base, you add the exponents.

In this case, we have 7^5 multiplied by 7^2.

Using the product rule, we add the exponents:

7^5 * 7^2 = 7^(5+2)

Simplifying the exponent, we have:

7^5 * 7^2 = 7^7

Therefore, the simplified expression is 7^7.
