Using laws of exponents, simplify and write the answer in exponential form:
(i) 32 × 34 × 38 (ii) 615 ÷ 610 (iii) a 3 × a 2
(iv) 7 x × 72 (v) 
(vi) 25
× 55
(vii) a 4 × b 4 (viii) (34)3
(ix) 
(x) 8 t
÷ 82
(i) 32 × 34 × 38 = (3)2 + 4 + 8 (am × an = am+n)
= 314
(ii) 615 ÷ 610 = (6)15 − 10 (am ÷ an = am−n)
= 65
(iii) a3 × a2 = a(3 + 2) (am × an = am+n)
= a5
(iv) 7x + 72 = 7x + 2 (am × an = am+n)
(v) (52)3 ÷ 53
= 52 × 3 ÷ 53 (am)n = amn
= 56 ÷ 53
= 5(6 − 3) (am ÷ an = am−n)
= 53
(vi) 25 × 55
= (2 × 5)5 [am × bm = (a × b)m]
= 105
(vii) a4 × b4
= (ab)4 [am × bm = (a × b)m]
(viii) (34)3 = 34 × 3 = 312 (am)n = amn
(ix) (220 ÷ 215) × 23
= (220 − 15) × 23 (am ÷ an = am−n)
= 25 × 23
= (25 + 3) (am × an = am+n)
= 28
(x) 8t ÷ 82 = 8(t − 2) (am ÷ an = am−n)
