Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is the correct simplification of (x^3 * y^2)^(2)?
  • Step 1: Identify the expression to simplify, which is (x^3 * y^2)^(2).
  • Step 2: Use the power of a product property, which states that (a * b)^n = a^n * b^n.
  • Step 3: Apply this property to the expression: (x^3 * y^2)^(2) becomes (x^3)^(2) * (y^2)^(2).
  • Step 4: Simplify (x^3)^(2) using the power of a power property, which states that (a^m)^n = a^(m*n). This gives us x^(3*2) = x^6.
  • Step 5: Simplify (y^2)^(2) in the same way: (y^2)^(2) gives us y^(2*2) = y^4.
  • Step 6: Combine the results from Step 4 and Step 5 to get the final simplified expression: x^6 * y^4.
