Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:09 Let's start by breaking it down.
00:12 We're using the power of products rule.
00:15 If a product is raised to a power, say N.
00:19 Each part of the product is raised to the same power N.
00:29 Now, let's apply this rule to solve our problem.
00:33 Open the parentheses. Raise each factor to the correct power.
00:38 And that's how we find the solution!

Step-by-Step Solution

We use the power law for multiplication within parentheses:

(xy)n=xnyn (x\cdot y)^n=x^n\cdot y^n

We apply it in the problem:

(y73)4=y47434 (y\cdot7\cdot3)^4=y^4\cdot7^4\cdot3^4

Therefore, the correct answer is option a.

Note:

From the formula of the power property mentioned above, we can understand that it applies not only to two terms within parentheses, but also for multiple terms within parentheses.

Answer

y4×74×34 y^4\times7^4\times3^4
