Use the power of exponents to simplify the expression (73^4)^5

1 answer

To simplify the expression \((73^4)^5\), we can use the power of a power property of exponents, which states that \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\).

Applying this property to the given expression:

\[ (73^4)^5 = 73^{4 \cdot 5} \]

Now, we calculate the exponent:

\[ 4 \cdot 5 = 20 \]

Thus, we have:

\[ (73^4)^5 = 73^{20} \]

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

\[ \boxed{73^{20}} \]
