is anyone good at simplifying a fraction?

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

Which of the following correctly simplifies the expression 2 to the power of 3 multiplied by 3 to the power of 0 whole over 5, the whole squared.?

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

2^3*3^0/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So \[\large \sf \frac{2^{3} \times 3^{0}}{5}\]?

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well first of all anything raised to the power of 0 is 1. \[\large \sf b^{0}=1\] So the top is the same as just \(2^{3}\)

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

okay

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

thats 8 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ye

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

okay

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

OH WAIT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So now you got \[\large \sf \frac{8}{5}\] That look good?

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

THERE IS A PROBLEM

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

there is a 2 at the top right corner :(((

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

sorry,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So basically \[\large \sf \huge ( \large \frac{2^{3} \times 3^{0}}{5} \huge ) ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well for every number within the parentheses, just apply the ^2 to. If the value already has an exponent attached to it, multiply that exponent by 2. \[\large \sf (a^{m})^{n}=a^{m \times n}\]

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

do u have any idea which choice it could be tho?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well yes, I know what the answer is

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
