Insert the corresponding expression:

(8×2)x= \left(8\times2\right)^x=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the problem by applying the power of a product rule.

  • Step 1: Recognize the product within the exponent. The original expression is (8×2)x (8 \times 2)^x .
  • Step 2: Apply the power of a product formula, which is (a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n .

By applying this formula, we get:

(8×2)x=8x×2x (8 \times 2)^x = 8^x \times 2^x

Therefore, the expanded form of (8×2)x (8 \times 2)^x is 8x×2x 8^x \times 2^x .

Thus, the solution to this problem is 8x×2x 8^x \times 2^x .

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of expressing (7×5×2)y(7 \times 5 \times 2)^y in another form, we'll use the power of a product rule step by step:

Step 1: Identify and Understand the Given Expression
We are given (7×5×2)y(7 \times 5 \times 2)^y. This indicates that the entire product inside the parentheses is raised to the power yy.

Step 2: Apply the Power of a Product Rule
The power of a product rule states that (a×b×c)n=an×bn×cn\left(a \times b \times c\right)^n = a^n \times b^n \times c^n. According to this law, we can distribute the exponent yy to each factor within the parentheses.

Step 3: Rewrite the Expression
Applying this rule, we rewrite the expression as:

  • Raise the first factor, 7, to the power of yy: 7y7^y.
  • Raise the second factor, 5, to the power of yy: 5y5^y.
  • Raise the third factor, 2, to the power of yy: 2y2^y.

Putting it all together, the expression becomes 7y×5y×2y7^y \times 5^y \times 2^y.

Conclusion
Therefore, the expression (7×5×2)y(7 \times 5 \times 2)^y is correctly rewritten as 7y×5y×2y7^y \times 5^y \times 2^y.

Hence, the corresponding expression is 7y×5y×2y7^y \times 5^y \times 2^y.

(9×2)3x= \left(9\times2\right)^{3x}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll apply the power of a product rule for exponents:

  • Identify that (9×2)3x(9 \times 2)^{3x} is a product of two numbers 99 and 22 raised to the same power 3x3x.
  • Apply the power of a product rule: (ab)n=an×bn(ab)^n = a^n \times b^n.
  • In our case, a=9a = 9, b=2b = 2, and n=3xn = 3x.
  • Thus, (9×2)3x=93x×23x(9 \times 2)^{3x} = 9^{3x} \times 2^{3x}.

Therefore, the expression (9×2)3x(9 \times 2)^{3x} simplifies to 93x×23x 9^{3x} \times 2^{3x} .

  • Step 3: Rewrite the expression with each base raised to the power of y+4+ay + 4 + a.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We have 6×7×106 \times 7 \times 10 as the base of the expression inside the parentheses.

Insert the corresponding expression:

(7×8)b+a= \left(7\times8\right)^{b+a}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow the steps below:

First, recognize that the expression given is (7×8)b+a (7 \times 8)^{b+a} . We aim to use the exponent rule known as the power of a product, which states that (xy)n=xn×yn (xy)^n = x^n \times y^n .

Applying this rule to the problem at hand, we have:

(7×8)b+a=7b+a×8b+a (7 \times 8)^{b+a} = 7^{b+a} \times 8^{b+a} .

Exercise #10

Insert the corresponding expression:

(5×3)6x= \left(5\times3\right)^{6x}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to apply the power of a product rule to the given expression, (5×3)6x(5 \times 3)^{6x}.

According to the exponent rule for the power of a product, when an expression in the form (a×b)n(a \times b)^n is encountered, it can be expanded to an×bna^n \times b^n. Here, a=5a = 5, b=3b = 3, and n=6xn = 6x.

By applying this rule, we distribute the exponent 6x6x to each of the bases within the parentheses:

  • First, apply the exponent to 5, resulting in 56x5^{6x}.
  • Then, apply the exponent to 3, resulting in 36x3^{6x}.

Thus, the expression (5×3)6x(5 \times 3)^{6x} simplifies to 56x×36x5^{6x} \times 3^{6x}. This shows that the exponent 6x6x is correctly applied to each element within the parentheses.

Therefore, the expression (5×3)6x(5 \times 3)^{6x} is equivalent to 56x×36x5^{6x} \times 3^{6x}.

  • Step 3: Rewrite the expression using the rule:

By applying (3×4)3x+1=33x+1×43x+1(3 \times 4)^{3x+1} = 3^{3x+1} \times 4^{3x+1}, we distribute the exponent to each base within the parentheses.

Therefore, the correct expression is 33x+1×43x+13^{3x+1} \times 4^{3x+1}.

(4×6)b+2= \left(4\times6\right)^{b+2}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will apply the power of a product rule. This rule states that when we have a product inside a power, such as (a×b)n(a \times b)^n, it can be rewritten as an×bna^n \times b^n. Here, our expression is (4×6)b+2(4 \times 6)^{b+2}.

Let's apply this rule step by step:

  • Identify the base of the expression: 4×64 \times 6.
  • The exponent applied to this base is b+2b + 2.
  • Apply the power of a product rule: (4×6)b+2=4b+2×6b+2(4 \times 6)^{b+2} = 4^{b+2} \times 6^{b+2}.

By distributing the exponent b+2b + 2 to each factor of the product, we successfully rewrite the expression using the laws of exponents. The rewritten expression is 4b+2×6b+24^{b+2} \times 6^{b+2}.

Therefore, the final answer to the problem is 4b+2×6b+2 4^{b+2} \times 6^{b+2} .

Answer

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:

  • Identify the given expression: (4×6)b (4 \times 6)^b .
  • Apply the power of a product rule: (a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n .
  • Separate the expression by distributing the exponent to both elements in the product.

Now, let us apply these steps:

The expression we start with is (4×6)b (4 \times 6)^b . According to the power of a product rule, (a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n , we distribute the exponent b b to each base:

(4×6)b=4b×6b(4 \times 6)^b = 4^b \times 6^b.

Therefore, the expression (4×6)b (4 \times 6)^b can be rewritten as 4b×6b 4^b \times 6^b , which corresponds to choice 1.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the common exponent in the expression.
  • Step 2: Use the power of a product rule to rewrite the expression with a single exponent.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Recognize that each term in the expression 52a×82a×72a5^{2a} \times 8^{2a} \times 7^{2a} has the same exponent, which is 2a2a.

Step 2: Apply the power of a product rule. This rule states that (x×y×z)n=xnynzn(x \times y \times z)^n = x^n \cdot y^n \cdot z^n, which can be reversed to combine the terms.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll simplify the expression by applying the properties of exponents:

  • Step 1: Recognize that both bases, 55 and 33, have the same exponent yy.
  • Step 2: Apply the power of a product rule in reverse: for terms ay×bya^y \times b^y, this simplifies to (a×b)y(a \times b)^y.
  • Step 3: Replace aa with 55 and bb with 33 to get (5×3)y(5 \times 3)^y.

Let's work through the solution with these steps:

Given the expression 5y×3y5^y \times 3^y, both terms share the same exponent yy. Therefore, we can combine them by multiplying the bases and keeping the common exponent:

(5×3)y (5 \times 3)^y

This simplification follows directly from the rule of exponents, which states an×bn=(a×b)na^n \times b^n = (a \times b)^n when nn is the same for both terms.

Therefore, the simplified expression is (5×3)y \left(5 \times 3\right)^y .
