The correct simplification of the expression is 4x¹⁴y¹⁷
Given,
The expression is (2x⁷ y)² (y⁵)³
To distribute the exponent, apply the power rule (ab)ⁿ = aⁿbⁿ
Implement the product rule to (2x⁷y)².
Here, we have a = 2x⁷ , b = y and n = 2
=(2x⁷)² y²(y⁵)³
= 2²(x⁷)² y²(y⁵)³
= 4(x⁷)² y²(y⁵)³
Now exponents should be multiplied while using the product rule.
The product rule is (aˣ)ⁿ = aˣⁿ
We apply this to (x⁷)² and (y⁵)³
So the expression becomes,
=4x⁷·² y² (y⁵·³)
= 4x¹⁴ y² y¹⁵
∵ In exponents we have a rule that if bases are same then powers are added i.e, aˣ aⁿ = aˣ⁺ⁿ
∴ 4x¹⁴ y¹⁵ ⁺ ²
= 4x¹⁴ y¹⁷
Hence we get the answer as 4x¹⁴ y¹⁷
