Question

The expression (8^2)^3 in the example problem is a product of powers. What are the powers being multiplied? What are the powers being multiplied in the expression (2^4)(5^4)?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 8²

b) 2⁴ and 5⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

The power of a number is the base together with the exponent of the number.

The given expresion is

$( {8}^{2} )^{3}$

We can rewrite this as:

${8}^{2} \times {8}^{2} \times {8}^{2}$

Over here the power being multiplied is

${8}^{2}$

Also, the powers being multiplied in

$( {2}^{4} )( {5}^{4} )$

are 2⁴ and 5⁴
