1 Answer

Mar 2, 2018

$32 k^{15}$ $32k^15$

Explanation:

${(2 k^{3})}^{5}$ $(2k^3)^5$

Distribute 5 that's outside the parenthesis to the 2 before k and to the exponent 3.

Multiply exponents:
$3 \cdot 5 = 15$ $3*5=15$

Distribute 5 to 2 so it's $2^{5}$ $2^5$ which equals 32

so $32 k^{15}$ $32k^15$
