question
use one exponent to condense the expression below. then compute and/or simplify.
5b·5b·5b
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 repeated factor

The expression is $5b \cdot 5b \cdot 5b$, so the repeated base is $5b$, which appears 3 times.

Step2: Apply exponent rule for multiplication

When multiplying identical bases, add exponents (or count the number of factors). For $n$ copies of base $x$, the condensed form is $x^n$.
$$(5b)^3$$

Step3: Expand to simplify (optional)

Calculate the power of the product: $(5b)^3 = 5^3 \cdot b^3 = 125b^3$

Answer:

Condensed Form: $(5b)^3$
Simplified Answer: $125b^3$
