Simplify:
We begin by using the distributive law of exponents.
We apply this property to the given problem :
When we apply the power of parentheses to each of the terms of the product inside the parentheses separately and maintain the multiplication.
Therefore, the correct answer is option a.
\( 112^0=\text{?} \)
While mathematically equivalent, the question asks you to simplify using exponent laws. The distributive form shows your understanding of how exponents work with products!
Not necessarily! The problem gives you 9 as a separate factor, so treat it as 9. However, if you want to combine powers of the same base later, you could write .
The same rule applies! . The distributive property of exponents works with any exponent - variables or numbers.
Think of it as "each factor gets its own copy of the exponent". When you have , imagine the exponent n being distributed like gifts - everyone gets one!
For this type of problem, leave them separate! The answer clearly shows you applied the exponent law correctly to each factor.
