Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we will simplify the expression (2×65×7)4\left(\frac{2 \times 6}{5 \times 7}\right)^4.

  • Step 1: Apply exponent rules to the expression:
    Since (ab)n=anbn\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}, we have: (2×65×7)4=(2×6)4(5×7)4 \left(\frac{2 \times 6}{5 \times 7}\right)^4 = \frac{\left(2 \times 6\right)^4}{\left(5 \times 7\right)^4}
  • Step 2: Further break down (2×6)4\left(2 \times 6\right)^4 and (5×7)4\left(5 \times 7\right)^4 using (ab)n=an×bn(ab)^n = a^n \times b^n:
    (2×6)4=24×64 \left(2 \times 6\right)^4 = 2^4 \times 6^4 (5×7)4=54×74 \left(5 \times 7\right)^4 = 5^4 \times 7^4
  • Step 3: Substitute back to see if match with any choices:
    (2×6)4(5×7)4=24×6454×74 \frac{\left(2 \times 6\right)^4}{\left(5 \times 7\right)^4} = \frac{2^4 \times 6^4}{5^4 \times 7^4}
  • Step 4: Compare results with choices:
    Both (2×6)4(5×7)4 \frac{\left(2 \times 6\right)^4}{\left(5 \times 7\right)^4} and 24×6454×74 \frac{2^4 \times 6^4}{5^4 \times 7^4} are forms of the same answer, indicating they are all correct simplifications.

Hence, according to the choices provided, all answers are correct.

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Rule: (ab)n=anbn \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n} applies power to both numerator and denominator
  • Technique: (ab)n=an×bn (ab)^n = a^n \times b^n , so (2×6)4=24×64 (2 \times 6)^4 = 2^4 \times 6^4
  • Check: Multiple equivalent forms exist: verify each represents the same mathematical expression ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Applying exponent incorrectly to fraction components
    Don't apply the exponent only to numerator or only to denominator = wrong structure! This ignores the exponent rule for fractions and creates mathematically incorrect expressions. Always apply the exponent to the entire fraction using (ab)n=anbn \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n} .

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

Why are there multiple correct answers for this problem?

+

All three expressions are mathematically equivalent! They represent the same value using different forms: unexpanded products, fully expanded, and mixed forms. Each follows correct exponent rules.

How do I know which form to use?

+

It depends on what the problem asks for! (2×6)4(5×7)4 \frac{(2\times6)^4}{(5\times7)^4} keeps products together, while 24×6454×74 \frac{2^4\times6^4}{5^4\times7^4} shows individual factors. Both are correct!

Can I simplify this expression further?

+

Yes! You could calculate: 2×6=12 2\times6 = 12 and 5×7=35 5\times7 = 35 , giving (1235)4 \left(\frac{12}{35}\right)^4 . But the problem asks for the expanded exponential form.

What's the key exponent rule I need to remember?

+

Remember: (ab)n=anbn \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n} and (ab)n=an×bn (ab)^n = a^n \times b^n . The exponent distributes to each factor in products and each part of fractions!

How can I check if my answer is right?

+

Verify that your expression follows proper exponent rules. Each factor should have the exponent 4, and the fraction structure should be maintained with numerator to the 4th power over denominator to the 4th power.
