Use the properties of exponents and radicals to generate an equivalent expression for (256√10)551213

.

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( (256\sqrt{10})^{551213} \), we can use the properties of exponents and radicals.

First, we express the square root and the number 256 in terms of exponents:

  1. Rewrite \( \sqrt{10} \) as \( 10^{1/2} \).
  2. Rewrite \( 256 \) as \( 2^8 \) since \( 2^8 = 256 \).

Now, we can rewrite the expression:

\[ (256\sqrt{10})^{551213} = (2^8 \cdot 10^{1/2})^{551213} \]

Using the property of exponents \( (a \cdot b)^n = a^n \cdot b^n \):

\[ (2^8 \cdot 10^{1/2})^{551213} = (2^8)^{551213} \cdot (10^{1/2})^{551213} \]

We apply the property of exponents \( (a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n} \):

\[ (2^8)^{551213} = 2^{8 \cdot 551213} = 2^{4409704} \] \[ (10^{1/2})^{551213} = 10^{(1/2) \cdot 551213} = 10^{275606.5} \]

Now we can combine both parts:

\[ (256\sqrt{10})^{551213} = 2^{4409704} \cdot 10^{275606.5} \]

This is the equivalent expression for \((256\sqrt{10})^{551213}\).

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ 2^{4409704} \cdot 10^{275606.5} \]
