Math Problem Statement

Simplify to a single power of 3: left parenthesis, 3, to the power 5 , right parenthesis, to the power 4 (3 5 ) 4

Solution

To simplify (35)4(3^5)^4 to a single power of 33, use the power of a power property, which states:

(am)n=amn.(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}.

Here, a=3a = 3, m=5m = 5, and n=4n = 4. Applying the property:

(35)4=354=320.(3^5)^4 = 3^{5 \cdot 4} = 3^{20}.

Final Answer:

(35)4=320.(3^5)^4 = 3^{20}.
