Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Simplify the following problem
00:04 When we are presented with a multiplication operation where all the factors have the same exponent (N)
00:09 Each factor is raised to the power (N)
00:13 We will apply this formula to our exercise
00:26 In multiplication, the order of factors doesn't matter, therefore the expressions are equal
00:32 We will apply this formula to our exercise and change the order of factors
00:41 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem (11×6×5)6 \left(11 \times 6 \times 5\right)^6 , we'll apply the power of a product exponent rule. This rule states that when you raise a product to an exponent, you can distribute the exponent to each factor within the product.

Step 1: The given expression is (11×6×5)6 \left(11 \times 6 \times 5\right)^6 .

Step 2: According to the power of a product rule, (a×b×c)n=an×bn×cn (a \times b \times c)^n = a^n \times b^n \times c^n .

Applying this to our expression we get:

(11×6×5)6=116×66×56 \left(11 \times 6 \times 5\right)^6 = 11^6 \times 6^6 \times 5^6

Step 3: Since multiplication is commutative (i.e., the order of multiplication doesn't affect the result), we can rearrange the terms as follows:

116×66×56=56×66×116 11^6 \times 6^6 \times 5^6 = 5^6 \times 6^6 \times 11^6

Both expressions 116×66×56 11^6 \times 6^6 \times 5^6 and 56×66×116 5^6 \times 6^6 \times 11^6 are equivalent and correctly represent the expanded form of the original expression.

Therefore, the correct corresponding expressions are both 116×66×56 11^6 \times 6^6 \times 5^6 and 56×66×116 5^6 \times 6^6 \times 11^6 .

Conclusion: Answers (a) and (b) are correct.
