Question

I am having trouble with writing expressions...

Answer 1

Hey Kerrielle, the easiest way to understand this is to look at it in parts. The product of 40 and 8 is 40*8=420. The sum of 2 and four is 2+4=6. Now that you don't have any math mixed in with your sentence, it's a lot simpler to read: Raise 320 to the power of 6.

320⁶

Answer 2

Hi Kerrielle;

(40*8)²⁺⁴

(320)⁶
