Examples with solutions for Power of a Product: Variable in the base of the power

Exercise #1

(5x3)3= (5\cdot x\cdot3)^3=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We use the formula:

(a×b)n=anbn (a\times b)^n=a^nb^n

(5×x×3)3=(15x)3 (5\times x\times3)^3=(15x)^3

(15x)3=(15×x)3 (15x)^3=(15\times x)^3

153x3 15^3x^3

Answer

153x3 15^3\cdot x^3

Exercise #2

(y×x×3)5= (y\times x\times3)^5=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We use the formula:

(a×b)n=anbn (a\times b)^n=a^nb^n

(y×x×3)5=y5x535 (y\times x\times3)^5=y^5x^53^5

Answer

y5×x5×35 y^5\times x^5\times3^5

Exercise #3

(x43)3= (x\cdot4\cdot3)^3=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let us begin by using the law of exponents for a power that is applied to parentheses in which terms are multiplied:

(xy)n=xnyn (x\cdot y)^n=x^n\cdot y^n We apply the rule to our problem:

(x43)3=x34333 (x\cdot4\cdot3)^3= x^3\cdot4^3\cdot3^3 When we apply the power to the product of the terms within parentheses, we apply the power to each term of the product separately and keep the product,

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer

x34333 x^3\cdot4^3\cdot3^3

Exercise #4

(ab8)2= (a\cdot b\cdot8)^2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We use the formula

(a×b)x=axbx (a\times b)^x=a^xb^x

Therefore, we obtain:

a2b282 a^2b^28^2

Answer

a2b282 a^2\cdot b^2\cdot8^2

Exercise #5

(a56y)5= (a\cdot5\cdot6\cdot y)^5=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We use the formula:

(a×b)x=axbx (a\times b)^x=a^xb^x

Therefore, we obtain:

(a×5×6×y)5=(a×30×y)5 (a\times5\times6\times y)^5=(a\times30\times y)^5

a5305y5 a^530^5y^5

Answer

a5305y5 a^5\cdot30^5\cdot y^5

Exercise #6

(a×b×c×4)7= (a\times b\times c\times4)^7=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We use the formula:

(a×b)x=axbx (a\times b)^x=a^xb^x

Therefore, we obtain:

a7b7c747 a^7b^7c^74^7

Answer

a7×b7×c7×47 a^7\times b^7\times c^7\times4^7

Exercise #7

(y×7×3)4= (y\times7\times3)^4=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We use the power law for multiplication within parentheses:

(xy)n=xnyn (x\cdot y)^n=x^n\cdot y^n We apply it in the problem:

(y73)4=y47434 (y\cdot7\cdot3)^4=y^4\cdot7^4\cdot3^4 Therefore, the correct answer is option a.

Note:

From the formula of the power property mentioned above, we can understand that it applies not only to two terms within parentheses, but also for multiple terms within parentheses.

Answer

y4×74×34 y^4\times7^4\times3^4

Exercise #8

(x2×a3)14= (x^2\times a^3)^{\frac{1}{4}}=

Video Solution

Answer

x12×a34 x^{\frac{1}{2}}\times a^{\frac{3}{4}}
