Question

( a^5 ⋅ 2^3 )^3 = ?
Please help and explain.

Answer 1

Answer:
`512a^(15)`

Explanation:

`(a^5*2^3)^3`

First, lets solve the inside of the parenthesis

`(a^5*8)^3`

Now, distribute the power of 3 to both terms. Remember taking a power of an exponent is like multiplying them (in this case
`(a^5)^3=a^(15)`

`a^(15)*512`

Simplify

`512a^(15)`
