Exercise 7 Page 327

Use the Power of a Product Property. This property states that to calculate the power of a product, the power needs to be distributed to each factor.

625y^4

Practice makes perfect

We want to simplify the algebraic expression by using the Property of Exponents. (5y)^4 In this case, we will use the Power of a Product Property. This property states that if we want to calculate the power of a product, we distribute the power to each factor and then multiply.

(5y)^4

(a b)^m=a^m b^m

5^4y^4

Calculate power

625y^4
