Solve the Nested Expression: ((b×6)^5)^2 Using Exponent Rules

Question

Insert the corresponding expression:

((b×6)5)2= \left(\left(b\times6\right)^5\right)^2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we need to simplify the expression ((b×6)5)2 \left(\left(b \times 6\right)^5\right)^2 .

We will apply the power of a power rule in exponents, which states:

  • For an expression (xm)n (x^m)^n , it simplifies to xm×n x^{m \times n} .

Applying this rule to our expression:

((b×6)5)2=(b×6)5×2 \left(\left(b \times 6\right)^5\right)^2 = \left(b \times 6\right)^{5 \times 2}

Calculating the new exponent:

5×2=10 5 \times 2 = 10

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

(b×6)10 \left(b \times 6\right)^{10}

We will now compare this to the given multiple-choice answers:

  • Choice 1: (b×6)3 \left(b\times6\right)^3 - Incorrect
  • Choice 2: (b×6)10 \left(b\times6\right)^{10} - Correct
  • Choice 3: (b×6)7 \left(b\times6\right)^7 - Incorrect
  • Choice 4: (b×6)25 \left(b\times6\right)^{\frac{2}{5}} - Incorrect

In conclusion, the correct answer is (b×6)10 \left(b\times6\right)^{10} , which matches Choice 2.

Answer

(b×6)10 \left(b\times6\right)^{10}
