what is equivalent to (h^5)^3?

A

you multiply the exponents

(h^5)^3
= h^(5 * 3)
= h^15
(answer A)

A that is all

To simplify, we multiply the exponents, giving us h^15. That's answer A.

If answer C has the 5 and the 3 both as superscript (exponents) with a multiplication symbol between them, it is also correct.

Everything else is incorrect.

Since there are parenthesis around (h^5) then you multiply the ^3 with the ^5 and you get answer A.

definately A and i think C but not sure

A

A------h^15
