Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(a5)3
Identify Operation: Identify the operation needed for the exponents when raising a power to a power.When we raise a power to a power, we multiply the exponents. In this case, we have (a5)3, which means we need to multiply the exponent 5 by 3.
Apply Rule: Apply the exponent rule (am)n=am∗n. Using the rule, we calculate (a5)3 as a5∗3.
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication of the exponents.Now we multiply the exponents: 5×3=15.
Write Final Answer: Write the final answer using the result from Step 3.The final answer is a15.
