Question

Use the properties of exponents to solve for each
variable

4^8 •4² = 4^a
(2^4)^5 = 2^b
5^6

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\because \: {a}^{m} . {a}^{n} = {a}^{m + n} \\ \therefore \: {4}^{8} . {4}^{2} = {4}^{8 + 2} = {4}^{10} \\ \\ \because \: ({a}^{m})^{n} = {a}^{m \times n} \\ \therefore \:({2}^{4})^{5} = {2}^{4 \times 5} = {2}^{20} \\ \\ {5}^{6} = 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 15625$
