Answer 1

Answer:

Below in bold

Step-.by-step explanation:

1.  5 ^(3+4) = 5^7.

2.  2^(8*2) = 2^16.

3.   1.

4.   n^11

5.  8^(7-2) = 8^5.

6.  1 / 3^4.

7.  7.

8. 8.

9.  5^4.

10. 81.

Answer 2

1) 5³ • 5⁴
= 5³+⁴
= 5⁷

2) (2⁸)²

= 2⁸ײ
= 2¹⁶

3) anything raised to a power of zero is always 1

4) n² • n⁴ • n⁵

= n²+⁴+⁵
= n¹¹


5) 8⁷/8²

= 8⁷-² = 8⁵

6)
3-⁴ =
1/3⁴


7) 7⁰ = 1


8)
3¹⁶ = (3⁸) (3*)

16-8 = 8

9) 5×5×5×5 = 5⁴

10) 3⁴ = 3×3×3×3 = 9×9 = 81
