Hi there!
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
Do you know the basic exponent rules?
OpenStudy (sbuck98):
nope
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
Ok, for question #1. This is the rule we need to use
\(\sf\Large (ab)^m = a^mb^m\)
Do you think you can try to attempt question #1 now? :)

An exponent is that little number at the top right of a term. It means to multiply the number by itself a certain number of times, like\[5^{3}\] would mean 5 multiplied by itself 3 times, 5*5*5
OpenStudy (sbuck98):
so would #1 would be (81a)3
OpenStudy (sbuck98):
@quickstudent
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
Ok, another rule is \(\sf\Large (x^m)^m = x^{m\times n}\)
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
So the 81 is correct, but the other half isn't correct. :)

Can you step me through these?
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
ok
OpenStudy (sbuck98):
or would it be 81^3
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
\(\sf\Large (3a^4)^3 = (3^3) \times (a^{4\times3})\)
Can you simplify that more :)
OpenStudy (sbuck98):
(81)^3=(27)x(a12)

help me please.
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
ok what is 3^3 = ?
OpenStudy (sbuck98):
27
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
and what is 3 x 4 = ?

12
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
so the answer for question #1 is \(\sf\Large 27a^{12}\)
