Q. Select the equivalent expression.(t−2⋅t7)2034t313t43t414t3
Simplify Exponents: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses by adding the exponents of t. When multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents. t−2×t7=t−2+7=t5
Apply Outer Exponent: Apply the outer exponent to the simplified base.Now we have (t5)(203). When raising a power to a power, you multiply the exponents.(t5)(203)=t5×(203)=t2015
Reduce Fraction: Simplify the exponent by reducing the fraction.The fraction 2015 can be reduced to 43 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 5.t2015=t43
Use Radical Notation: Write the expression using radical notation.An exponent of 43 means the fourth root of the number raised to the third power.t43=4t3
