Algebra I / Chapter 6: Exponentiation / Power Properties
Power By M Times N
Consider the following:
(xm)n
xm multiplies x m times. And (xm)n multiplies xm n times. Thus, in (xm)n multiplies x m*n times.
x(m*n) also multiplies x m*n times. Thus:
(xm)n = x(m ⋅ n)
Here are some examples:
(22)3 = 2(2 ⋅ 3)
(115)6 = 11(5 ⋅ 6)
