Example Question #1071 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs

Evaluate: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When an exponent is being raised by another exponent, we just multiply the powers and keep the base the same. However, with a number present, we need to also apply the exponent to the number. We essentially breakdown the components as such: .

Example Question #83 : Distributing Exponents (Power Rule)

Evaluate: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When an exponent is being raised by another exponent, we just multiply the powers and keep the base the same. However, with a number present, we need to also apply the exponent to the number. We essentially breakdown the components as such: .

Example Question #86 : Distributing Exponents (Power Rule)

Simplify:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Simplify the exponent outside the exponent by use of the product rule of exponents.

Change the nine to base three.

Since powers of a common base are multiplied, the powers can be added.

The answer is:  

Example Question #601 : Exponents

Simplify: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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

Example Question #602 : Exponents

Simplify: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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

Example Question #603 : Exponents

Simplify: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When an exponent is being raised by another exponent, we multiply the exponents and keep the base the same. Since there is a number present, we also must perform the exponent operation as well.

Example Question #91 : Distributing Exponents (Power Rule)

Simplify: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When an exponent is being raised by another exponent, we multiply the exponents and keep the base the same. Since there is a number present, we also must perform the exponent operation as well.

Example Question #92 : Distributing Exponents (Power Rule)

Simplify: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Since we have two expressions being multiplied, we follow PEMDAS meaning we do exponents first then multiplication. We will apply power rule and then multiplication rule of exponents.
