Practice makes perfect
We want to write the given expression using exponents. Recall that an exponent is a number or expression written above a number indicating how many times that number is being multiplied by itself. Let's consider the given expression.
4* 4_(2times) * 5* 5 * 5_(3times)
We can see that the factor 4 is being multiplied by itself two times and that the factor 5 is being multiplied by itself three times. Let's rewrite this information using exponents!
4^2* 5^3
Let's consider the given expression.
3* 3* 3* 3* 3_(5times) * y* y_(2times)
We can see that the factor 3 is being multiplied by itself five times and that y is being multiplied by itself two times. Let's rewrite this information using exponents!
3^5* y^2
We are given the following expression.
(6x)(6x)(6x)(6x)_(4times)
We can see that 6x is being multiplied by itself four times. Be careful with the parentheses placement!
(6x)^4
