Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We are given the expression 23×43 2^3 \times 4^3 and need to express it as a single term using the power of a product rule.

The power of a product rule states that any non-zero numbers a a and b b and an integer n n can be written as (a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n .

To apply the inverse formula, which is converting two separate powers into a product raised to a power, we look for terms that can be combined under a single exponent. Note:

  • Both terms 23 2^3 and 43 4^3 have the same exponent.

  • This allows us to combine them into a single expression: (2×4)3 (2 \times 4)^3 .

Therefore, according to the power of a product rule applied inversely, the expression 23×43 2^3 \times 4^3 can be rewritten as (2×4)3 (2 \times 4)^3 .

Answer

(2×4)3 \left(2\times4\right)^3

Exercise #7

Choose the expression that corresponds to the following:

29×49×79= 2^9\times4^9\times7^9=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The given expression is 29×49×79 2^9 \times 4^9 \times 7^9 .

We need to simplify this expression by using the exponent rule for the power of a product. The rule states that (a×b×c)n=an×bn×cn (a \times b \times c)^n = a^n \times b^n \times c^n , which can be inverted to simplify a product of terms with the same exponent.

Thus, the expression 29×49×79 2^9 \times 4^9 \times 7^9 can be rewritten as (2×4×7)9 (2 \times 4 \times 7)^9 .

Breaking it down:

  • Identify the common exponent, which is 9 9 .

  • Combine the bases under a single power:

    • The bases are 2,4, 2, 4, and 7 7 .

  • Apply the exponent rule: 29×49×79=(2×4×7)9 2^9 \times 4^9 \times 7^9 = (2 \times 4 \times 7)^9 .

Therefore, the corresponding expression is (2×4×7)9 \left(2\times4\times7\right)^9 .

Exercise #8

Choose the expression that corresponds to the following:

87×107×167= 8^7\times10^7\times16^7=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The given expression is 87×107×167 8^7\times10^7\times16^7 . We need to apply the power of a product rule for exponents. This rule states that for any numbers a a , b b , and c c , if they have the same exponent n n , then (a×b×c)n=an×bn×cn (a\times b\times c)^n=a^n\times b^n\times c^n .

In this problem, we recognize that 8, 10, and 16 all have the same exponent of 7. Therefore we can apply the rule directly:

  • 87×107×167 8^7 \times 10^7 \times 16^7

    Applying the power of a product rule:

  • (8×10×16)7 (8 \times 10 \times 16)^7

This simplified form matches the pattern we recognize from the power of a product rule, verifying that (8×10×16)7 (8\times10\times16)^7 is indeed the correct transformation of the original expression 87×107×167 8^7\times10^7\times16^7 .

Answer

(8×10×16)7 \left(8\times10\times16\right)^7

Exercise #9

Choose the expression that corresponds to the following:

58×88×108= 5^8\times8^8\times10^8=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The goal is to apply the power of a product rule by transforming the expression 58×88×108 5^8 \times 8^8 \times 10^8 into the form (a×b×c)n (a \times b \times c)^n .

Let's begin by identifying the terms involved:

  • The expression consists of three separate terms, each raised to the 8th power: 58 5^8 , 88 8^8 , and 108 10^8 .

According to the power of a product rule, (a×b×c)n=an×bn×cn (a \times b \times c)^n = a^n \times b^n \times c^n . Therefore, given that the exponents are the same (n=8 n = 8 ), we can reverse this process.

  • The original expression is 58×88×108 5^8 \times 8^8 \times 10^8 .

We can then consolidate this into a single term by combining the bases under the same exponent:

Thus, 58×88×108=(5×8×10)8 5^8 \times 8^8 \times 10^8 = (5 \times 8 \times 10)^8 .

Therefore, the corresponding expression is:

(5×8×10)8 \left(5\times8\times10\right)^8

Answer

(5×8×10)8 \left(5\times8\times10\right)^8

Exercise #10

Choose the expression that corresponds to the following:

116×106×126= 11^6\times10^6\times12^6=

We start with 116×106×12611^6 \times 10^6 \times 12^6.

By the power of a product rule, we can combine these into a single expression: (11×10×12)6(11 \times 10 \times 12)^6.

This equation satisfies the choices given, as all representations like (11×10×12)6(11 \times 10 \times 12)^6, (10×11×12)6(10 \times 11 \times 12)^6, and (12×10×11)6(12 \times 10 \times 11)^6 are equivalent due to the commutative property of multiplication.

Step-by-Step Solution

To answer the question, we need to apply the power of a product exponent rule. This rule states that when you have a product of numbers raised to the same power, you can combine them under one exponent. The formula is as follows:

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

In our problem, we are given:
711×311×8 7^{11}\times3^{11}\times8

We notice that 711 7^{11} and 311 3^{11} are raised to the same power, 11. Therefore, according to the power of a product rule, we can combine them:

  • Identify the terms with the same power: 711 7^{11} and 311 3^{11} .

  • Combine the terms under a single exponent: (7×3)11 (7 \times 3)^{11} .

This means:

711×311=(7×3)11 7^{11}\times3^{11} = (7\times3)^{11}

Thus, our simplified expression now looks like this:

(7×3)11×8 (7\times3)^{11}\times8

Answer

(7×3)11×8 \left(7\times3\right)^{11}\times8

Exercise #12

  • Step 1: Apply the power of a product rule to combine 27×37 2^7 \times 3^7 into (2×3)7 (2 \times 3)^7 .

  • Step 2: Recognize that 2×3=6 2 \times 3 = 6 , so the expression becomes 67×107 6^7 \times 10^7 .

  • Step 3: Again, apply the power of a product rule to combine 67×107 6^7 \times 10^7 into (6×10)7 (6 \times 10)^7 .

  • Step 4: Calculate 6×10=60 6 \times 10 = 60 , resulting in 607 60^7 .

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is 607 60^7 . Additionally, since all the provided answer choices (607 60^7 , 67×107 6^7 \times 10^7 , and 27×(3×10)7 2^7 \times (3 \times 10)^7 ) represent equivalent forms of the original expression, all answers are correct.

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression 2010×410×210 20^{10} \times 4^{10} \times 2^{10} , we can apply the power of a product rule for exponents. According to this rule, for any numbers a a , b b , and c c raised to the power of n n , we we can state:

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

Answer

5×(3×11)5 5\times\left(3\times11\right)^5

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression 99×89×29 9^9 \times 8^9 \times 2^9 , we will apply the "Power of a Product" rule in the exponent rules. This rule states that if you have a product of terms all raised to the same exponent, it can be rewritten as the product itself raised to that exponent. The formula is given by:

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

Exercise #18

Reduce the following equation:

a8×b8×c8= a^8\times b^8\times c^8=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To reduce the expression a8×b8×c8 a^8 \times b^8 \times c^8 , we can apply the Power of a Product Rule, which states that when multiplying powers with the same exponent across different bases, we can combine them into a single power. Specifically, this rule is written as:

(xm×ym×zm)=(x×y×z)m. (x^m \times y^m \times z^m) = (x \times y \times z)^m.

Applying this rule to our expression a8×b8×c8 a^8 \times b^8 \times c^8 , we identify x=a x = a, y=b y = b, and z=c z = c, all with the exponent m=8 m = 8 . Therefore, we can simplify the expression to:

(a×b×c)8. (a \times b \times c)^8.

Thus, the reduced form of the given expression is:

(a×b×c)8 (a \times b \times c)^8 .

Answer

(a×b×c)8 \left(a\times b\times c\right)^8

Exercise #19

Insert the corresponding expression:

1(7×9×6)6= \frac{1}{\left(7\times9\times6\right)^{-6}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression 1(7×9×6)6 \frac{1}{\left(7\times9\times6\right)^{-6}} , we will employ exponent rules:

  • Step 1: Recognize that the expression has a negative exponent in the denominator. By the rule of negative exponents, we have (an)m=1(an)m=(an)m \left(a^n\right)^{-m} = \frac{1}{\left(a^n\right)^m} = \left(a^n\right)^m .
  • Step 2: Therefore, the negative exponent 6-6 becomes positive when moved from the denominator: (7×9×6)6 \left(7 \times 9 \times 6\right)^{-6} becomes (7×9×6)6 \left(7 \times 9 \times 6\right)^{6} once moved to the numerator.

Thus, rewriting the expression, we get (7×9×6)6 \left(7 \times 9 \times 6\right)^6 .
