Question

How do you simplify `(3xz^5)^3` and write it using only positive exponents?

Answer 1

Distribute the exponent to each of the terms. Remember `x^(a^b) = x^(ab)`

Explanation:

Since everything is being multiplied we can rewrite the expression as `3^3x^3z^(5^3)`, which simplifies to `27x^3z^15`
