Identify and Apply Power Rule: Identify the given expression and apply the power of a power rule which states that (ab)c=a(b∗c).The expression is ((23)4⋅(234))/((25)8).First, simplify (23)4 by multiplying the exponents.(23)4=23⋅4=212.
Simplify Exponent (23)4: Now, simplify the denominator (25)8 by multiplying the exponents.(25)8=25∗8=240.
Simplify Exponent (25)8: Combine the simplified parts of the expression.The expression now is 240212⋅234.
Combine Simplified Parts: Apply the product of powers rule which states that am×an=a(m+n) to combine the powers of 2 in the numerator.212×234=212+34=246.
Apply Product of Powers Rule: Now, apply the quotient of powers rule which states that am/an=a(m−n) to divide the powers of 2. (246)/240=2(46−40)=26.
Apply Quotient of Powers Rule: Finally, simplify 26. 26=2×2×2×2×2×2=64.
