check please...... (2xy^6)^5=3^5x^5y^11= 243x^5y^11

OpenStudy (kropot72):

2^5*x^5*((y^6)^5)=32*x^5*y^30

Your solution raised 3 to the power of 5 instead of 2 to the power of 5. When raising the index of y to a higher power the indices are multiplied, not added as in the case of straight multiplication involving indices. Hope you understand:)

i think i see where i messed up...

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Gr8. Let me know if you need more clarification.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so the ^6 would be multiplied by the ^5?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Correct.(y*y*y*y*y*y)*(y*y*y*y*y*y)*(y*y*y*y*y*y)*(y*y*y*y*y*y)*(y*y*y*y*y*y) There are 30 y's all multiplied together in 5 groups of 6.
