How do you simplify #z^10*z^3# and write it using only positive exponents? Algebra Exponents and Exponential Functions Exponential Properties Involving Products 1 Answer Shell Sep 19, 2016 #z^13# Explanation: Use this exponent rule: #x^a *x^b=x^(a+b)# The base #x# has to be the same. Then just add the exponents. #z^10*z^3=z^(10+3)=z^13# Answer link Related questions What is the Exponential Property Involving Products?
