Question

choose the correct simplification of (x^3/y^5)^2

Answer 1

What are the options?

Answer 2

a,)x^5/y^7
b.)x/y^3
c.)x^6/y^10
d,)x^6y^10

Answer 3

Try it yourself first.

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

Answer 4

you add them?

Answer 5

you add 3 and 2
then you add 5 and 2?

Answer 6

or do you multiply them?
3.2
and 5.2

Answer 7

\(\bf \left(\cfrac{x^3}{y^5}\right)^{\color{blue}{ 2}}\implies \cfrac{x^{3\cdot {\color{blue}{ 2}}}}{y^{5\cdot {\color{blue}{ 2}}}}\)

Answer 8

\[\Large (x^a)^b = x^{ab}\]ab means a multiplied by b. Addition would require an... addition sign.

Answer 9

so the answer would be x^6 over y^10?

Answer 11

so the answer would be x^6 over y^10? \(\Large \checkmark\)

Answer 12

choose the correct simplification of 8x^2(5x+2x^2-3)

Answer 13

just distribute I'd think
