1 answer

To simplify \( 410 \) using the Power Rule of Exponents, we first need to understand that it represents \( 4^{10} \).

Using the properties of exponents, we can express \( 4^{10} \) in several equivalent forms.

  1. Expanding using multiplication:
    • \( 4^{10} \) can be expressed as \( 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \), which is the expanded form (this is equivalent to \( 4 \) multiplied by itself \( 10 \) times):
    • Answer: \( 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \).

The other options represent different forms of \( 4^{10} \), but only the first option is the straightforward expansion. So, the equivalent expanded expression for \( 410 \) using the Power Rule of Exponents is:

\( 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 \).
