Exercise #1

Choose the expression that corresponds to the following:

(20×5)7= \left(20\times5\right)^7=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution


Step 1: We start with the expression (20×5)7 \left(20 \times 5\right)^7 .
Step 2: We'll apply the power of a product rule, which states (a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n . This gives us: (20×5)7=207×57 \left(20 \times 5\right)^7 = 20^7 \times 5^7 .
Step 3: To verify, notice that both 207×57 20^7 \times 5^7 and 57×207 5^7 \times 20^7 involve the same expression due to the commutative property of multiplication. Also, we can rewrite (20×5) \left(20 \times 5\right) as 100 100 , leading to another form: (20×5)7=1007 \left(20 \times 5\right)^7 = 100^7
Thus, both 207×57 20^7 \times 5^7 , 57×207 5^7 \times 20^7 , and 1007 100^7 are equivalent expressions for (20×5)7 \left(20 \times 5\right)^7 .

Choose the expression that corresponds to the following:


(13×4)6= \left(13\times4\right)^6=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The expression in question is (13×4)6 \left(13\times4\right)^6 . This expression involves raising a product to a power and requires the application of the power of a product exponent rule, which states:

  • When you have a product raised to an exponent, you can distribute the exponent to each factor in the product separately.

Mathematically, any numbers a a and b b and a positive integer n n can be written as(a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n .

Applying this rule to our expression, (13×4)6 \left(13 \times 4\right)^6 becomes 136×46 13^6 \times 4^6 .

Therefore, the expression (13×4)6 \left(13 \times 4\right)^6 simplifies to 136×46 13^6 \times 4^6 .

(2×3)2= \left(2\times3\right)^2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The given expression is (2×3)2 \left(2\times3\right)^2. We need to apply the rule of exponents known as the "Power of a Product." This rule states that when you have a product raised to an exponent, you can apply the exponent to each factor in the product individually. Mathematically, this is expressed as: (a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n .

In this case, the expression (2×3)2 \left(2\times3\right)^2 follows this rule with a=2 a = 2 and b=3 b = 3 , and n=2 n = 2 .

  • First, apply the exponent to the first factor: 22 2^2 .
  • Next, apply the exponent to the second factor: 32 3^2 .

Therefore, by applying the "Power of a Product" rule, the expression becomes: 22×32 2^2 \times 3^2 .

Applying this rule to the given expression:

  • Identify the values of a a and b b as 5 5 and 7 7 , respectively.

  • Identify n n as 3 3 .

  • Substitute using the rule:
    (5×7)3=53×73(5 \times 7)^3 = 5^3 \times 7^3

(5×6)9= \left(5\times6\right)^9=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression (5×6)9 \left(5\times6\right)^9 , we need to apply the rule for the power of a product. This rule states that when you raise a product to a power, it is equivalent to raising each factor in the product to the same power. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

  • (a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n

In this specific problem, the factors are 5 5 and 6 6 and the exponent is 9 9 . Applying the power of a product rule, we get:

  • (5×6)9=59×69 \left(5\times6\right)^9 = 5^9 \times 6^9

Therefore, the correct expression that corresponds to (5×6)9 \left(5\times6\right)^9 is 59×69 5^9\times6^9 .

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression, we can apply the rule for the power of a product, which states that(a×b)n=an×bn \left(a \times b\right)^n = a^n \times b^n .

In this case, our expression is (2×11)5 \left(2\times11\right)^5 , wherea=2 a = 2 and b=11 b = 11 , and n=5 n = 5 .

Applying the power of a product rule gives us:

  • an=25 a^n = 2^5

  • bn=115 b^n = 11^5

Therefore, (2×11)5=25×115 \left(2\times11\right)^5 = 2^5 \times 11^5 .

(6×8)4= \left(6\times8\right)^4=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of rewriting the expression (6×8)4(6 \times 8)^4, we will apply the power of a product rule. This rule states that (a×b)n=an×bn(a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n.

Let's apply this rule to our expression:

(6×8)4(6 \times 8)^4 can be rewritten as 64×846^4 \times 8^4 by applying the Power of a Product rule.

Now, let's consider the available options:

  • Choice 1: 64×846^4 \times 8^4 - This choice directly corresponds to our rewritten expression using the power of a product rule.

  • Choice 2: 48448^4 - This represents the product calculated first (6×8=486 \times 8 = 48) and then raised to the fourth power. This is also a valid representation since (6×8)4(6 \times 8)^4 is equivalent to 48448^4.

  • Choice 3: 64×86^4 \times 8 - This is incorrect because it does not correctly apply the power of a product rule.

Therefore, the correct answer according to the given choices is that (a) and (b) are correct.

Here, a=4 a = 4 , b=2 b = 2 and n=2 n = 2 .

  • Step 1: Apply the power of a product rule: (4×2)2=42×22 \left(4 \times 2\right)^2 = 4^2 \times 2^2 .

Thus, the expression (4×2)2 \left(4\times2\right)^2 is equivalent to 42×22 4^2 \times 2^2 .

Exercise #10

(2×7×5)3= (2\times7\times5)^3=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we need to apply the power of a product exponent rule. This rule states that when you raise a product to a power, it's the same as raising each factor to that power. In mathematical terms, if you have (abc)n (abc)^n , it is equivalent to an×bn×cn a^n \times b^n \times c^n .

Let's apply this rule step by step:

Our original expression is: (2×7×5)3 (2 \times 7 \times 5)^3 .

We first identify the factors inside the parentheses as 2 2 , 7 7 , and 5 5 .

According to the Power of a Product rule, we can distribute the exponent3 3 to each factor:

First, raise 2 2 to the power of 3 3 to get 23 2^3 .

Then, raise 7 7 to the power of 3 3 to get 73 7^3 .

Finally, raise 5 5 to the power of 3 3 to get 53 5^3 .

Therefore, the expression (2×7×5)3 (2 \times 7 \times 5)^3 simplifies to 23×73×53 2^3 \times 7^3 \times 5^3 .

Answer

23×73×53 2^3\times7^3\times5^3

Exercise #11

Choose the expression that represents the following:

(9×7)4= \left(9\times7\right)^4=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we need to apply the power of a product rule for exponents, which states that if you have a product raised to an exponent, you can apply the exponent to each factor in the product individually.

The general form of this rule is:

(a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n

According to this formula, when we have the expression(9×7)4 (9 \times 7)^4 we apply the exponent 4 to each factor within the parentheses.

This process results in:

  • Raising 9 to the power of 4: 94 9^4

  • Raising 7 to the power of 4: 74 7^4

Therefore, the expression simplifies to:

94×74 9^4 \times 7^4

Answer

94×74 9^4\times7^4

Exercise #12

Choose the expression that corresponds to the following:

(2×4)10= \left(2\times4\right)^{10}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the question, we need to apply the power of a product exponent rule. The formula states that for any real numbers a a and b b , and any integern n :

  • (a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n

Looking at our expression, we can see that:

  • a=2 a = 2

  • b=4 b = 4

  • n=10 n = 10

Now, if we apply the formula:

  • (2×4)10=210×410 (2 \times 4)^{10} = 2^{10} \times 4^{10}

Therefore, the expression (2×4)10 (2 \times 4)^{10} is equivalent to 210×410 2^{10} \times 4^{10} .

Answer

210×410 2^{10}\times4^{10}

  • Step 1: Identify the expression.
    The given expression is (10×3)4(10 \times 3)^4.

  • Step 2: Apply the power of a product law.
    According to the rule, (a×b)n=an×bn(a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n, our expression becomes:
    (10×3)4=104×34(10 \times 3)^4 = 10^4 \times 3^4.

  • Step 3: Evaluate the choices:
    - First choice: 34×1043^4 \times 10^4
    Rearranging terms, this is equivalent to 104×3410^4 \times 3^4. Therefore, it matches our transformed expression.
    - Second choice: 30430^4
    Since 30=10×330 = 10 \times 3, (10×3)4=304(10 \times 3)^4 = 30^4. This simplifies to the same expression.
    - Third choice: 104×3410^4 \times 3^4

    Therefore, the solution is that all answers are correct.

  • Apply the relevant formula: the power of a product rule —(a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n .

  • Execution: Rewrite (5×3)3 (5 \times 3)^3 as 53×33 5^3 \times 3^3 .

Let's walk through the solution:

Initially, we have the expression (5×3)3 (5 \times 3)^3 . We recognize that by the power of a product rule, this can be rewritten as 53×33 5^3 \times 3^3 .

Next, let's verify the choices:
