$t^{2} (t^{\frac{1}{2}})$

Step 1

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

$t^{2 + \frac{1}{2}}$

Step 2

To write $2$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$t^{2 \cdot \frac{2}{2} + \frac{1}{2}}$

Step 3

Combine $2$ and $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$t^{\frac{2 \cdot 2}{2} + \frac{1}{2}}$

Step 4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$t^{\frac{2 \cdot 2 + 1}{2}}$

Step 5

Simplify the numerator.
