Simplify.

Question

Rewrite the expression in the form
\[a^n\].
\[\left(a^5\right)^{2}=\]

Answer 1

To simplify $\left(a^5\right)^2$, we use the property of exponents that says $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$. Applying this property, we have $\left(a^5\right)^2=a^{5\cdot 2}=a^{10}$. Therefore, $\left(a^5\right)^2$ simplifies to $\boxed{a^{10}}$.
