An exponent indicates that a number is being multiplied a k number of times by itself. For example, the expression:


4^3

Indicates that the number "4" is being multiplied 3 times by itself, the expanded expression would be:


4\cdot4\cdot4

For the given exponent number:


((3)/(4))^5

It indicates that 3/4 is being multiplied 5 times by itself, the expanded expression would be:


(3)/(4)\cdot(3)/(4)\cdot(3)/(4)\cdot(3)/(4)\cdot(3)/(4)=(243)/(1024)
