True

Consider two numbers a and b

Their product will be
\sf a * b = (ab)

Suppose I want to raise this product to a power, say m

That is,
\sf (ab)^m

By rules of indices,


\sf (ab)^m = a^m * b^m

So, we have to raise the individual factors of the product to the power and multiply the results.

Hence the given statement is true.
