00:00 Simplify the following problem
00:03 Let's look at possible solutions to the question
00:07 First solution - let's simply calculate
00:10 Now let's look at another solution method
00:14 Any number to the power of 1 is always equal to itself (A)
00:17 Let's apply this formula to our exercise, and raise each number to the power of 1
00:21 According to the laws of exponents, the multiplication of powers with an equal bases (A)
00:25 equals the same base raised to the sum of the exponents (N+M)
00:29 Let's apply this formula to our exercise
00:33 We'll add up the exponents and raise them to this power
00:37 These are the possible solutions to the question
