simplify (x)^5^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like \[(x^5)^4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no\[((x)^5)^4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, same thing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use (x^a)^b = x^(ab)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be x^20 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see my text gives the answer x^625, so does wolfram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x ^{5^{4}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

careful with your parentheses.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how would I simplify that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5^4 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in that case, do 5^4, and your answer is x^that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok. i see.
