Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Simplify the following problem
00:03 Any number raised to the power of 1 is always equal to itself
00:08 We'll apply this formula to our exercise, and raise it to the power of 1
00:12 According to the laws of exponents, the multiplication of powers with an equal base (A)
00:17 equals the same base raised to the sum of the exponents (N+M)
00:21 We'll apply this formula to our exercise
00:25 We'll maintain the base and add together the exponents
00:35 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To simplify the expression 62×65×6 6^2 \times 6^5 \times 6 , we apply the rules of exponents because all terms have the same base.

  • Identify each power: 62 6^2 , 65 6^5 , and 6 6 . Remember that 6 6 is equivalent to 61 6^1 .

  • Using the exponent multiplication rule: am×an=am+n a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} .

  • Combine the exponents: 62+5+1 6^{2+5+1} .

  • Calculate the sum of the exponents: 2+5+1=8 2 + 5 + 1 = 8 .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 68\boxed{6^8}.

Answer

68 6^8
