Question

to find a power of a power, you have to ________ the __________.

Answer 1

You might want to write out a couple of examples. Here's an example that came to my mind immediately:

(x^2)^3 is a power (the third power) of a power (x^2).

How do you evaluate this?

Answer 2

it asking me what u have to do to find the power of a power

Answer 3

Yes, Genesis, and I am now asking YOU that same question, having given you a simple example upon which to focus.

Answer 4

If you don't know the answer to that, perhaps now is the time to read through your learning materials and to list rules of exponentiation.

Answer 5

One such rule: \[2^a * 2^b=2^{a+b}\]

Answer 6

i know that but thanks for your help

Answer 7

Would you mind answering my question, above? If you can do that, then you'd be in a better position to answer the question that you've shared here on OpenStudy.

Answer 8

(3^a)^b= 1^1*3^a * 1^2*3^a * 1^3*3^a.....* 1^b*3^a

Answer 9

So, from the exponentiation rule that mathrule gave you, how can you simplify that long multiplication.

Answer 10

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