Exponent Rules Practice Problems - Master Powers & Bases

To solve the given expression $(2^3)^6$, we apply the power of a power rule $(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}$. Here, $a = 2$, $m = 3$, and $n = 6$.

Thus, we calculate the exponent:

$3 \cdot 6 = 18$

So, $(2^3)^6 = 2^{18}$.

We use the zero exponent rule.

$X^0=1$We obtain

$112^0=1$Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

We use the power property:

$X^0=1$We apply it to the problem:

$5^0=1$Therefore, the correct answer is C.

In order to solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the base and exponents

• Step 2: Use the formula for multiplying powers with the same base

• Step 3: Simplify the expression by applying the relevant exponent rule

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The given expression is $(3^4) \times (3^2)$. Here, the base is 3, and the exponents are 4 and 2.

Step 2: Apply the exponent rule, which states that when multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents:
$a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$

Step 3: Using the rule identified in Step 2, we add the exponents 4 and 2:
$3^4 \times 3^2 = 3^{4+2} = 3^6$

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is $3^6$.

To solve this problem, we'll employ the power of a power rule in exponents, which states that $(a^m)^n = a^{m \times n}$.

Let's apply this rule to each part of the expression:

• Step 1: Simplify $(3^2)^4$
  According to the power of a power rule, this becomes $3^{2 \times 4} = 3^8$.

• Step 2: Simplify $(5^3)^5$
  Similarly, apply the rule here to get $5^{3 \times 5} = 5^{15}$.

After simplifying both parts, we multiply the results:

$3^8 \times 5^{15}$

Thus, the reduced expression is $\boxed{3^8 \times 5^{15}}$.
