Question

Insert the corresponding expression:

(8×9×10×5×6×3×7)5= \left(8\times9\times10\times5\times6\times3\times7\right)^5=

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Simplify the following problem
00:03 According to the laws of exponents, a product entirely raised to a power (N)
00:09 Equals a product where each factor is raised to the same power (N)
00:14 This formula is valid regardless of how many factors are in the product
00:26 We will apply this formula to our exercise
00:31 We'll break down the product into each factor separately raised to the power (N)
00:42 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to appropriately apply the power of a product rule:

  • Preliminary setup: Identify the expression within the power. We have 8×9×10×5×6×3×7 8\times9\times10\times5\times6\times3\times7 raised to the 5th power.
  • Step 1: Apply the exponent to each individual factor according to the power of a product rule:
    (8×9×10×5×6×3×7)5=85×95×105×55×65×35×75 \left(8\times9\times10\times5\times6\times3\times7\right)^5 = 8^5 \times 9^5 \times 10^5 \times 5^5 \times 6^5 \times 3^5 \times 7^5
    • Here, each factor inside the parentheses is raised to the 5th power individually.
  • Step 2: Compare this expanded expression to the choices provided.
    • Choice 1: 85×95×(10×5×6×3×7) 8^5 \times 9^5 \times \left(10\times5\times6\times3\times7\right) does not raise each to the 5th power correctly.
    • Choice 2: 8×9×105×55×65×35×75 8 \times 9 \times 10^5 \times 5^5 \times 6^5 \times 3^5 \times 7^5 incorrectly multiplies 8 and 9 without raising them to the 5th power, so it is not correct.
    • Choice 3: 5×(8×9×10×5×6×3×7) 5 \times \left(8\times9\times10\times5\times6\times3\times7\right) does not involve the correct exponentiation.
    • Choice 4: "None of the answers are correct" seems accurate since none of the expressions match what we derived.

Therefore, after verifying all the choices, the correct answer is None of the answers are correct, based on the power of a product rule.

Answer

None of the answers are correct
