Question

How do you simplify `(a^n)^(3p)`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

To simplify this expression, use this rule of exponents:

`(x^color(red)(a))^color(blue)(b) = x^(color(red)(a) xx color(blue)(b))`

Substituting gives:

`(a^color(red)(n))^color(blue)(3p) = a^(color(red)(n) xx color(blue)(3p)) = a^(3np)`
