To calculate: The error in simplifying the given problem.
The error is that the coefficient is not multiplied by the power. The correct answer for the given expression is
Given information:
Simplification of an expression,
Calculation: Step 1: Check which property of exponents goes with the given question.
Here, property of power raised to a power meets which states that if a is a base then the power raised to the power of base a gives the product of powers raised to the base a. it means
Also, when we have
Step 2: Check what are the coefficients, exponents and base.
- An exponent is a number or letter written above and to the right of a mathematical expression called the base.
- Coefficient is a number multiplied by a variable.
- A base is a number which gets multiplied when using an exponent.
Here, base is
Calculation to simplify the given expression is,
The correct answer for the given expression is
