\\( 5az \cdot 5az \cdot 5az \cdot 5az \\)
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 repeated factor

The expression is $5az \cdot 5az \cdot 5az \cdot 5az$, where $5az$ repeats 4 times.

Step2: Write condensed exponential form

For a repeated factor $b$ multiplied $n$ times, it is $b^n$. Here, $b=5az$, $n=4$, so:
$(5az)^4$

Step3: Expand and simplify the exponential

Calculate each component's exponent:
$$(5az)^4 = 5^4 \cdot a^4 \cdot z^4 = 625a^4z^4$$

Answer:

Condensed Form: $(5az)^4$
