a)5^(4\cdot3)=5^(12)

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

let's remember some properties of the operation with exponents


\begin{gathered} a^m\cdot a^n=a^(m+n) \\ (a^m)/(a^n)=a^(m-n) \\ (1)/(a^n)=a^(-n) \\ (a^m)^n0a^(m\cdot n) \end{gathered}

therefore, I f we have


(5^4)^3

Raj could have used


\begin{gathered} (5^4)^3 \\ (5^4)^3=5^(4\cdot3)=5^(12) \end{gathered}

hence, the answer is


a)5^(4\cdot3)=5^(12)

I hope this helps you
