.
You get the answer to this by multiplying the two exponents to get which
simplifies to .
.
Think of it this way ... when you raise a quantity to the 5th power, you multiply that
quantity times itself until it appears 5 times in the string of multiplications. So what
you are asked to do in this problem is to raise to the 5th power which translates
to:
.

.
Then in this string you can replace each of the terms by and the
result is:
.

.
and if you count them all up, there are 15 x's in this string ... which translates
to .
.
That's why the rule that when you raise an quantity with an exponent to another power you
do so by just multiplying the exponents.
.
Hope this helps you to see a little more about how exponents work.
