x5y5z6, x5y5z8, xyz16, x4y4z8
Solution
Given expression is (xyz2)4
Using the law of exponents, we know that (am)n = a m × n
= (x)4(y)4(z2)4
= x4y4z8
Another example can be: Choose the correct simplification of the expression (x5y6z4)3
The above expression can be simplified as:
= (x5)3(y6)3(z4)3
= x15y18z12
Choose the correct simplification of the expression (xyz2)4.
Summary:
The correct simplification of the expression (xyz2)4 is x4y4z8
