Example Questions

Example Question #41 : Distributing Exponents (Power Rule)

Simplify: $(3^{-9})^{-9}$

Possible Answers:

$3^{-9}$

$3^{-36}$

$3^{-18}$

$3^{81}$

Correct answer:

$3^{81}$

Explanation:

When an exponent is raised by another exponent, we just multiply the exponents and keep the base the same.

$(3^{-9})^{-9}=3^{-9*-9}=3^{81}$

Example Question #42 : Distributing Exponents (Power Rule)

Simplify: $(\frac{1}{2}^{9})^8$

Possible Answers:

4^6

$\frac{1}{2}^{72}$

$2^{17}$

$\frac{1}{2}^{17}$

$2^{72}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{2}^{72}$

Explanation:

When an exponent is raised by another exponent, we just multiply the exponents and keep the base the same.

$(\frac{1}{2}^{9})^8=\frac{1}{2}^{9*8}=\frac{1}{2}^{72}$

Example Question #43 : Distributing Exponents (Power Rule)

Simplify: $(3a^2b^{-3}c^4)^2$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{3a^4c^8}{b^6}$

$\frac{9a^4c^8}{b^3}$

$\frac{9a^4c^8}{b^6}$

$\frac{a^4c^8}{b^6}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{9a^4c^8}{b^6}$

Explanation:

To simplify this expression, square every term in the parentheses:

$3^2a^4b^{-6}c^8$ .

Then simplify and get rid of the negative exponent by putting the b term on the denominator:

$\frac{9a^4c^8}{b^6}$ .

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{3}^{-49}$

$\frac{1}{3}^{49}$

$\frac{1}{3}^{-14}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{3}^{-49}$

Explanation:

When an exponent is raised by another exponent, we will multiply the exponents and keep the base the same.

Simplify:

$\left(\frac{1}{3}^7\right)^{-7}=\frac{1}{3}^{7*-7}=\frac{1}{3}^{-49}$

Possible Answers:

$8^{12}$

$8^{24}$

$8^{88}$

$8^{16}$

$8^{64}$

Correct answer:

$8^{64}$

Explanation:

When dealing with exponents raising another exponent, we just multiply the powers and keep the base the same.

$(8^8)^8=8^{8*8}=8^{64}$
