Question

Which expression is equivalent to (73)5 • 74 ?

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. 73 • 5 • 74

Explanation:

In mathematics, multiplication can be represented by using the symbol × or the symbol ·. Moreover, multiplication can be also represented just by leaving the numbers or values side by side without any symbol. For example, the expression 5x + y implies 5 should be multiplied by x. In this context, the expression (73)5 • 74  indicates 5 should be multiplied by 74, and the result of this should be multiplied by 73 as the lack of symbol indicates multiplication. Therefore, this is equivalent to 73 • 5 • 74.
