Step-by-Step Solution

The expression in question is (11×15×4)6(11 \times 15 \times 4)^6.

Using the power of a product rule, we know that any numbers aa, bb, and cc can be written as(a×b×c)n=an×bn×cn(a \times b \times c)^n = a^n \times b^n \times c^n.

Applying this, we get:

(11×15×4)6=116×156×46(11 \times 15 \times 4)^6 = 11^6 \times 15^6 \times 4^6

Verify the multiple-choice options:
- Option 1: Clearly represents the expression as 116×156×4611^6 \times 15^6 \times 4^6, so this is correct.
- Option 2: If we combine 15×4=6015 \times 4 = 60, the expression becomes (11×60)6(11 \times 60)^6, which matches 116×60611^6 \times 60^6, therefore correct.
- Option 3: If we combine 11×4=4411 \times 4 = 44, the expression becomes (44×15)6(44 \times 15)^6, which aligns with 446×15644^6 \times 15^6, therefore correct.

Since all three expressions are validated as equivalent to the original expression when simplified appropriately, all answers are correct.

Answer

All answers are correct.
