Posted this in the wrong forum

In the below post (see link) this manipulation was performed

5^21 * 4^11 = 2 * 10^n

5^21*2^22=2 * 10^n

is there any specific rule around doing this? Thank you

Law of Exponents

a^m * a^n = a^(m+n)

In this case we could re-write 4 as 2^2


Again, according to law of exponents

(a^m)^n = a^(m*n)

Can you do it from here??
