Question

use one exponent to condense the expression below. then compute and/or simplify.
$-3xz \cdot -3xz \cdot -3xz \cdot -3xz$
answer attempt 1 out of 2
type the base, then use the $a^b$ button or type the ^ symbol on your keyboard for the exponent.
condensed form:
answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the base and count factors

The expression is \(-3xz \cdot -3xz \cdot -3xz \cdot -3xz\). The base for each factor is \(-3xz\), and there are 4 factors.

Step2: Apply exponent rule

Using the rule \(a \cdot a \cdot \dots \cdot a\) (n times) \(= a^n\), we get \((-3xz)^4\).

Step3: Simplify the exponentiation

Calculate \((-3)^4 = 81\), \(x^4\), \(z^4\), so \((-3xz)^4 = 81x^4z^4\).

Answer:

Condensed Form: \(-3xz\) \(^4\)
