Math Problem Statement

Simplify each expression: (5x^4)^2, (-3r^5)^3, (3a^3b^5)^4, (6m^{-4}n^7)^2

Solution

Here are the simplified forms of the mathematical expressions displayed on the uploaded image:

A. (5x2)3(5x^2)^3

  • Apply the power of a power rule: (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}
  • (5x2)3=53(x2)3=125x6(5x^2)^3 = 5^3 \cdot (x^2)^3 = 125x^6

B. (3r5)3(-3r^5)^3

  • Apply the power of a power rule: (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}
  • (3r5)3=(3)3(r5)3=27r15(-3r^5)^3 = (-3)^3 \cdot (r^5)^3 = -27r^{15}

D. (3a3b5)4(3a^3b^5)^4

  • Apply the power of a power rule: (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}
  • (3a3b5)4=34(a3)4(b5)4=81a12b20(3a^3b^5)^4 = 3^4 \cdot (a^3)^4 \cdot (b^5)^4 = 81a^{12}b^{20}

E. (6m4n7)2(6m^{-4}n^7)^2

  • Apply the power of a power rule: (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}
  • (6m4n7)2=62(m4)2(n7)2=36m8n14(6m^{-4}n^7)^2 = 6^2 \cdot (m^{-4})^2 \cdot (n^7)^2 = 36m^{-8}n^{14}
