Question

Express the following with a single exponent:

(210)3×254


Open in App
Solution

For any non-zero integer a, where mandn are whole numbers,

amn=am×n

So, 2103= 210×3 where a=2,m=10,n=3

=230………………….(1)

Also, 254=25×4 where a=2,m=5,n=4

=220………………….(2)

Therefore, (210)3×254=230×220 (From (1) and (2))

we know that, am×an=am+n

Exponents can be added only when the bases are the same.

So, 230×220=230+20 where a=2,m=30,n=20

=250.

Therefore, (210)3×254=250.
