Answer 1

1st step

use the power of a power rule

\[(x^a)^b = x^{a \times b}\]

2nd step

when multiplying the same base

add the powers

\[x^a \times x^b = x^{a +b}\]

Answer 2

I'm assuming it is \[3x(x^3)^8\]
You can start with the left term, and remember that with an exponent on an exponent, you multiply them. So you end up with 3x(x^24). Then using the same principal as \[x*x^2=x^3\]
it is just 3x^25.

Answer 3

so is 3x^25 is that the answer

Answer 4

yes
