Question

Write the given product in exponential form.
$5\times a\times a\times a\times b\times b\times c\times c\times c$.

Answer 1

We know that if a number say $b$ is multiplied two times, that is, $b\times b$ can be written as $b^2$.

Similarly,

$5\times a\times a\times a=5^1\times a^3$.

Thus,

$5\times a\times a\times a\times b\times b\times c\times c\times c=$ $5^1\times a^3\times b^2\times c^3$.

$=5a^3{b}^2{c}^3$
