Math Problem Statement

Applying the Power Rule of Exponents, what is the exponent in an equivalent form of ((1/6)^3)^3

? Answer with a whole number for the exponent where the base is 16

1/6

.(1 point)

Solution

To simplify ((16)3)3\left( \left( \frac{1}{6} \right)^3 \right)^3, we apply the Power Rule of Exponents, which states that (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}.

Here, the base is 16\frac{1}{6}, and we have:

((16)3)3=(16)33=(16)9\left( \left( \frac{1}{6} \right)^3 \right)^3 = \left( \frac{1}{6} \right)^{3 \cdot 3} = \left( \frac{1}{6} \right)^9

So, the exponent is 9.

Tip: When using the power rule, always multiply the exponents if both are applied to the same base.
