Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Simplify the following problem
00:03 According to the laws of exponents, multiplying powers with the same base (A)
00:06 equals the same base raised to the sum of the exponents (N+M)
00:09 We'll apply this formula to our exercise, each time for one multiplication
00:14 We'll maintain the base and add the exponents together
00:25 Calculate the exponents
00:30 Apply the formula once again
00:33 That's the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will apply the rule for multiplying powers with the same base. This rule states that when multiplying like bases, we can add the exponents. Let's break down the steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the exponents of each power of 6 6 . They are 3 3 , 5 5 , 6 6 , and 4 4 .
  • Step 2: Add these exponents together. This gives us 3+5+6+4 3 + 5 + 6 + 4 .
  • Step 3: Calculate the sum: 3+5+6+4=18 3 + 5 + 6 + 4 = 18 .
  • Step 4: Write the result as a single power: 618 6^{18} .

Thus, by applying the rule for the multiplication of powers, the entire expression simplifies to 618 6^{18} .

The correct answer is therefore 618 6^{18} , which corresponds with the choice labeled "1" in the given options.

Answer

618 6^{18}
