<u>Before we begin, you should remember the following exponential rules:</u>
<u>Rule #1:</u> xᵃ * xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ
<u>Rule #2:</u> (xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ
<u>Rule#3</u>: xᵃ / xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ
<u>Now, for the given problem:</u>
<u>1- If the given problem was:</u>
(c⁶c²)⁵
<u>We will start by simplifying what's inside the brackets.</u>
<u>To do this, we will apply Rule#1 as follows:</u>
(c⁶c²)⁵ = (c⁶⁺²)⁵ = (c⁸)⁵
<u>Now, we can simplify this by applying Rule#2 as follows:</u>
(c⁸)⁵ = c⁸ˣ⁵ = c⁴⁰
<u>2- If the given problem was:</u>
<u>We will start by simplifying what's inside the brackets.</u>
<u>To do this, we will apply Rule#3 as follows:</u>
<u></u>
<u>Now, we can simplify this by applying Rule#2 as follows:</u>
(c⁴)⁵ = c⁴ˣ⁵ = c²⁰
Hope this helps :)
