x^3(x^4)^2

Question

i do not understand how to simplify this equation

Answer 1

The answer should actually be x^19 because a power multiplied with a power is add. In the first scenario it was a power raised to another power, so you multiplied, which was properly done by Vivian

Answer 2

Hi Kelsie;

 

I believe this is the equation.

 

x³(x⁴)²

 

If not, please let me know...

 

x³(x¹⁶)

 

x⁴⁸
