Question

Simplify. Write your answer with a positive exponent.


`(5q^4)^3`

Answer 1

The answer is 125q^12

Answer 2

5q^7

Explanation:

When multiplying exponents(if positive), you must add them together. So, (5q^4)³ will be 5q^7 because the exponents were positive and they were multiplying so you add them together and leave the variable and number 5 alone.
