Exercise 25 Page 329

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.

- 243 v^5

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the algebraic expression by using the Properties of Exponents. (- 3 v)^5 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.
(- 3 v)^5
(- 3)^5v^5
- 243 v^5
