Chapter 13.2, Problem 20AR

To determine

To simplify. Use only positive exponents ${\left(s^5\right)}^3$.

Answer to Problem 20AR

The required solution is ${\left(s^5\right)}^3=s^{15}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The number is ${\left(s^5\right)}^3$ .

Calculation: The required solution is obtained as,

When there is a power to a power like this, you just multiply the exponents together.

  $\begin{array}{l}{\left(s^5\right)}^3\\ =s^{5\times 3}\\ =s^{15}\end{array}$

Hence, the required solution is ${\left(s^5\right)}^3=s^{15}$ .
