Answers:

  • a) 2^30
  • b) x^36
  • c) y^33
  • d) 1

===============================

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule you use is

(a^b)^c = a^(b*c)

For something like (2^5)^6, we have a = 2, b = 5, c = 6

So,

(a^b)^c = a^(b*c)

(2^5)^6 = 2^(5*6)

(2^5)^6 = 2^30

because 2^30 is so massive, it's likely your teacher will want you to keep 2^30 as is and not use your calculator to find what it turns into.

The other expressions are simplified in a similar manner.

For part (d), you'll use the rule x^0 = 1, where x is nonzero.
