Standardizing Mathematical Notation in Technical Logs

In your role as a technical documentation specialist, you are drafting a reference guide for interns on how to simplify expressions in system logs. Briefly describe the 'Product Property for Exponents' in your own words. In your description, be sure to state the specific rule regarding what exponent is implicitly assigned to a variable like 'a' when no power is written. Finally, show how these rules are used to simplify the expressions a7aa^7 \cdot a and x27x13x^{27} \cdot x^{13}.
