Exercise #4

2423= \frac{2^4}{2^3}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's keep in mind that the numerator and denominator of the fraction have terms with the same base, therefore we use the property of powers to divide between terms with the same base:

In the exercise of multiplying powers, we will add up all the powers of the same product, in this case the terms a, b

We use the formula:

an×am=an+m a^n\times a^m=a^{n+m}

We are going to focus on the term a:

a3×a2=a3+2=a5 a^3\times a^2=a^{3+2}=a^5

Exercise #9

(2×8×7)2= (2\times8\times7)^2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We begin by using the power rule for parentheses:

(zt)n=zntn (z\cdot t)^n=z^n\cdot t^n

That is, the power applied to a product inside parentheses, is applied to each of the terms within, when the parentheses are opened.

We then apply the above rule to the problem:

(287)2=228272 (2\cdot8\cdot7)^2=2^2\cdot8^2\cdot7^2

Therefore, the correct answer is option d.

Note:

From the formula of the power property inside parentheses mentioned above, it might seem as though it refers to only two terms of the product inside of the parentheses, but in reality, it is also valid for the power over a multiplication of many terms inside parentheses, as was seen above.

A good exercise is to demonstrate that if the previous property is valid for a power over a product of two terms inside parentheses (as formulated above), then it is also valid for a power over several terms of the product inside parentheses (for example - three terms, etc.).

Answer

228272 2^2\cdot8^2\cdot7^2

k2t4k6t2= k^2\cdot t^4\cdot k^6\cdot t^2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Using the power property to multiply terms with identical bases:

aman=am+n a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n} It is important to note that this law is only valid for terms with identical bases,

We notice that in the problem there are two types of terms. First, for the sake of order, we will use the substitution property to rearrange the expression so that the two terms with the same base are grouped together. The, we will proceed to solve:

k2t4k6t2=k2k6t4t2 k^2t^4k^6t^2=k^2k^6t^4t^2 Next, we apply the power property to each different type of term separately,

k2k6t4t2=k2+6t4+2=k8t6 k^2k^6t^4t^2=k^{2+6}t^{4+2}=k^8t^6 We apply the property separately - for the terms whose bases arek k and for the terms whose bases aret t We add the powers in the exponent when we multiply all the terms with the same base.

The correct answer then is option b.

Exercise #19

(2×7×5)3= (2\times7\times5)^3=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem(2×7×5)3 (2\times7\times5)^3 , we need to apply the Power of a Product rule of exponents. This rule states that when you raise a product to a power, it's the same as raising each factor to that power. In mathematical terms, if you have (abc)n (abc)^n , it is equivalent to an×bn×cn a^n \times b^n \times c^n .

Let's apply this rule step by step:

Our original expression is (2×7×5)3 (2 \times 7 \times 5)^3 .

We identify the factors inside the parentheses as 2 2 , 7 7 , and 5 5 .

According to the Power of a Product rule, we can distribute the exponent3 3 to each factor:

First, raise 2 2 to the power of 3 3 to get 23 2^3 .

Then, raise 7 7 to the power of 3 3 to get 73 7^3 .

Finally, raise 5 5 to the power of 3 3 to get 53 5^3 .

Therefore, the expression (2×7×5)3 (2 \times 7 \times 5)^3 simplifies to 23×73×53 2^3 \times 7^3 \times 5^3 .

Answer

23×73×53 2^3\times7^3\times5^3

Exercise #20

(3×2×4×6)4= (3\times2\times4\times6)^{-4}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We begin by using the power rule for parentheses.

(zt)n=zntn (z\cdot t)^n=z^n\cdot t^n

That is, the power applied to a product inside parentheses is applied to each of the terms within when the parentheses are opened,

We apply the above rule to the given problem:

(3246)4=34244464 (3\cdot2\cdot4\cdot6)^{-4}=3^{-4}\cdot2^{-4}\cdot4^{-4}\cdot6^{-4}

Therefore, the correct answer is option d.

Note:

According to the formula of the power property inside parentheses mentioned above, it might seem as though it refers to only two terms of the product inside of the parentheses, but in reality, it is also valid for the power over a multiplication of many terms inside parentheses, as was seen above.

A good exercise is to demonstrate that if the previous property is valid for a power over a product of two terms inside parentheses (as formulated above), then it is also valid for a power over several terms of the product inside parentheses (for example - three terms, etc.).
