Simplify b^(3/5)*b^(8/5)

$b^{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot b^{\frac{8}{5}}$

Step 1

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$b^{\frac{3}{5} + \frac{8}{5}}$

Step 2

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$b^{\frac{3 + 8}{5}}$

Step 3

Add $3$ and $8$ .

$b^{\frac{11}{5}}$
