Math Problem Statement

Solve the expression 5^3 + 4^3 * 4^7 - (12^10 / 3^10)

Solution

Let's break down and solve the expression from the image:

53+434712103105^3 + 4^3 \cdot 4^7 - \frac{12^{10}}{3^{10}}

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Simplify each part:

    • 53=5×5×5=1255^3 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125
    • 43=4×4×4=644^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64
    • 47=4×4×4×4×4×4×4=163844^7 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 16384
    • The fraction 1210310\frac{12^{10}}{3^{10}} can be rewritten as: 1210310=(123)10=410\frac{12^{10}}{3^{10}} = \left(\frac{12}{3}\right)^{10} = 4^{10} Now, calculate 410=10485764^{10} = 1048576.
  2. Now, substitute the simplified terms into the expression: 53+43471210310=125+641638410485765^3 + 4^3 \cdot 4^7 - \frac{12^{10}}{3^{10}} = 125 + 64 \cdot 16384 - 1048576

  3. Perform multiplication and subtraction:

    • First, calculate 6416384=104857664 \cdot 16384 = 1048576
    • So, the expression becomes: 125+10485761048576125 + 1048576 - 1048576
    • This simplifies to: 125+0=125125 + 0 = 125

Final Answer:

125\boxed{125}
