Example Question #11 : How To Use The Power Rule For Exponents In Pre Algebra

Simplify:

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

Possible Answers:

$x^{27}$

$x^{11}$

$x^{24}$

$x^{5}$

Correct answer:

$x^{24}$

Explanation:

When raising a polynomial to a power you multiply the polynomial inside the parentheses by the power outside of the parentheses.

So we multiply by to get the power of the answer, .

The answer is $x^{24}$ .

Example Question #11 : How To Use The Power Rule For Exponents In Pre Algebra

Which of the following is equivalent to:

$(2^{6})^{\frac{2}{3}}$ ?

Possible Answers:

26.3

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Recall that when we have the exponent of an expression with an exponent, as in this case, we multiply these exponents. Thus, we have that:

$(2^{6})^{\frac{2}{3}} = 2^{6\cdot \frac{2}{3}} = 2^{\frac{12}{3}} = 2^{4} = 16$

Possible Answers:

$x^{14}$

x^5

$x^{45}$

x^9

Correct answer:

$x^{45}$

Explanation:

When raising a power to a power, multiply the power inside the parentheses by the power outside the parentheses. In this case, multiply by to find the power of the answer, .

Example Question #13 : How To Use The Power Rule For Exponents In Pre Algebra

Which of the following is equivalent to (X^2)^5 ?

Possible Answers:

$X^{10}$

$X^{25}$

$X^{3}$

$X^{5}$

$X^{7}$

Correct answer:

$X^{10}$

Explanation:

When an exponent expression is raised by another exponent, you can multiply the exponents:

$(X^{2})^{5}=X^{2 \cdot 5}=X^{10}$

Example Question #14 : How To Use The Power Rule For Exponents In Pre Algebra

Simplify:

$5^{-2}$

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{1}{25}$

$\frac{1}{25}$

$-\frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{1}{10}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{25}$

Explanation:

To get rid of the negative exponent, find the inverse of $5^{-2}$ , which is $\frac{1}{5^{2}}$ .

$5 \times 5 =25$ , so the final answer is $\frac{1}{25}$ .

Example Question #15 : How To Use The Power Rule For Exponents In Pre Algebra

$(x^{5})^3=$

Possible Answers:

$x^{15}$

$x^{75}$

$x^{25}$

x^2

x^8

Correct answer:

$x^{15}$

Explanation:

According to the power rule of exponents, you multiply the exponents when you raise a power to a power.

$(x^5)^3=x^{5 * 3}=x^{15}$
