Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression 5b^3 · 5b^3

Solution

The expression shown in the image is:

5b35b35b^3 \cdot 5b^3

To simplify this expression:

  1. Multiply the constants: 5×5=255 \times 5 = 25.
  2. Use the property of exponents: when multiplying powers of the same base, add the exponents. Here, b3×b3=b3+3=b6b^3 \times b^3 = b^{3+3} = b^6.

So, the simplified expression is:

25b625b^6

Let me know if you would like any further explanations or details. Here are five related questions:

  1. How do you handle exponents when dividing powers of the same base?
  2. What happens when you raise a power to another power (e.g., (b3)2(b^3)^2)?
  3. How can you simplify expressions with multiple variables, like 5b3c22b2c35b^3c^2 \cdot 2b^2c^3?
  4. What is the rule for multiplying square roots of variables?
  5. How would you expand (5b3)2(5b^3)^2?

Tip: Remember that multiplying powers with the same base only works when adding their exponents; the base must remain the same.
