Complete the Expression: Solving (10x)^8x Power Notation

Question

Insert the corresponding expression:

(10x)8x= \left(10x\right)^{8x}=

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Step 1: Identify and restate the given expression.
  • Step 2: Decide on the exponent technique to use.
  • Step 3: Rewrite the expression using the identified rule.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The problem gives us the expression (10x)8x (10x)^{8x} .
Step 2: We will apply the power of a power rule for exponents, which states that if you have (am)n (a^m)^n , it equals amn a^{m \cdot n} .
Step 3: We need to express 8x 8x as a product of two numbers. Let's write 8x 8x as (2x)4 (2x) \cdot 4 . Hence, using the power of a power rule, we can transform this into ((10x)2x)4 ((10x)^{2x})^4 .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is (10x)8x=((10x)2x)4 (10x)^{8x} = ((10x)^{2x})^4 .

Upon examining the given answer choices, we find that choice 1: ((10x)2x)4 \left(\left(10x\right)^{2x}\right)^4 matches our solution. The other choices do not represent the original expression correctly using the power of a power rule.

Answer

((10x)2x)4 \left(\left(10x\right)^{2x}\right)^4
