Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:10 Let's simplify this problem together.
00:13 When multiplying numbers with the same exponent, N, start by noting each number is raised to that power, N.
00:20 Think of each factor being taken to the power of N.
00:24 We'll use this rule in our example step by step. Ready to see how it works?
00:31 Here's how we find the solution.

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression, we will use the power of a product rule. According to this rule, when you have a product raised to an exponent, you can distribute the exponent to each factor in the product. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

(a×b×c)n=an×bn×cn (a \times b \times c)^n = a^n \times b^n \times c^n

  • In our expression, a=16 a = 16 , b=2 b = 2 , and c=3 c = 3 .

Applying the power of a product formula to our expression gives:

(16×2×3)11=1611×211×311 (16 \times 2 \times 3)^{11} = 16^{11} \times 2^{11} \times 3^{11}

This shows that each factor inside the parentheses is raised to the power of 11, which is consistent with the provided answer:

1611×211×311 16^{11}\times2^{11}\times3^{11}

Answer

1611×211×311 16^{11}\times2^{11}\times3^{11}
