Question

[3/4] raised to 5 + [5/3] raised to 5

Answer 1

Answer:

(x3)(x4) = (x‍x‍x)(x‍x‍x‍x)

Now I can remove the parentheses and put all the factors together:

(x‍x‍x)(x‍x‍x‍x) = x‍x‍x‍x‍x‍x‍x

This is seven copies of the variable. "Multiplying seven copies" means "to the seventh power", so this can be restated as:

x‍x‍x‍x‍x‍x‍x = x7

Putting it all together, the steps are as follows:

(x3)(x4) = (x‍x‍x)(x‍x‍x‍x)

= x‍x‍x‍x‍x‍x‍x
