Choose the correct simplification of the expression (2x7y)2(y5)3.

Sagot :

The correct simplification of the expression is  4x¹⁴y¹⁷

Given,

The expression is (2x⁷ y)² (y⁵)³

To distribute the exponent, apply the power rule (ab)ⁿ = aⁿbⁿ

Implement the product rule to (2x⁷y)².

Here, we have a = 2x⁷ , b = y and n = 2

=(2x⁷)² y²(y⁵)³

= 2²(x⁷)² y²(y⁵)³

= 4(x⁷)² y²(y⁵)³

Now exponents should be multiplied while using the product rule.

The product rule is (aˣ)ⁿ = aˣⁿ

We apply this to (x⁷)² and (y⁵)³

So the expression becomes,

=4x⁷·² y² (y⁵·³)

= 4x¹⁴ y² y¹⁵

∵ In exponents we have a rule that if bases are same then powers are added i.e, aˣ aⁿ = aˣ⁺ⁿ

∴ 4x¹⁴ y¹⁵ ⁺ ²

= 4x¹⁴ y¹⁷

Hence we get the answer as 4x¹⁴ y¹⁷
