Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we will use the rule of exponents known as the power of a product rule, which states that for any real numbers or expressions xx, yy raised to a power nn, the following holds:

(x×y)n=xn×yn(x \times y)^n = x^n \times y^n.

We have the expression (b×z×a)5 \left(b \times z \times a\right)^5 . According to the power of a product rule, we apply the exponent 5 to each factor inside the parenthesis.

Let's break it down:

  • Apply 55 to bb: (b)5=b5(b)^5 = b^5.
  • Apply 55 to zz: (z)5=z5(z)^5 = z^5.
  • Apply 55 to aa: (a)5=a5(a)^5 = a^5.

By applying the exponent to each factor, we obtain:
(b×z×a)5=b5×z5×a5 (b \times z \times a)^5 = b^5 \times z^5 \times a^5 .

Since multiplication is commutative, we can write it in any order, and a common convention is ordering it alphabetically:

Thus, a5×b5×z5 a^5 \times b^5 \times z^5 is the simplified expression.

Therefore, the correct answer to the problem is a5×b5×z5 a^5 \times b^5 \times z^5 , which corresponds to choice 1.

Answer

a5×b5×z5 a^5\times b^5\times z^5
