Question

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (xy^3)^5

Answer 1

`(xy^3)^5=x^5y^(15)`

Here, we want to simplify the given expression

We use the general indices rule below to evaluate this;

`(n^a)^b=n^(ab)`

So, basically we have to multiply the powers outside and the powers inside the bracket

Thus, we have this as;

`(xy^3)^5=x^5y^(15)`
