Which of the following correctly used the Power Rule of Exponents in the expression
a)(10^63)
b)(10^16)
c)(10^2)
d)(90^7)
c)(10^2)
The Power Rule of Exponents states that when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents.
a) (10^63) is an example of using the Power Rule of Exponents because the exponent 63 is multiplied by the original exponent, resulting in a new exponent of 63.
b) (10^16) is also an example of using the Power Rule of Exponents because the exponent 16 is multiplied by the original exponent, resulting in a new exponent of 16.
c) (10^2) is another example of using the Power Rule of Exponents because the exponent 2 is multiplied by the original exponent, resulting in a new exponent of 2.
d) (90^7) does not use the Power Rule of Exponents because the base is 90 and the exponent is not being raised to another exponent. Therefore, it does not involve multiplying exponents.
