(5w^9t^5)^5

 

Answer 1

(5w⁹t⁵)⁵

 

 

Raise each factor in parenthesis to the power of 5.  Then multiply them out.

 

5⁵ * (w⁹)⁵ * (t⁵)⁵ =

 

3125 * w⁴⁵* t²⁵

Answer 2

Hi Seth

 

The expression in parenthesis is being raised to the 5th power.

 

(5w⁹t⁵)⁵ can be written as

(5⁵) (w^9•5) (t^5•5)

= (5⁵) (w⁴⁵) (t²⁵)

 

= 3125 w⁴⁵ t²⁵
