The Deep Dive
First additional information: To combine \( (5^{2})^{4} \) into a single exponential, use the power of a power property which states that \( (a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n} \). So in this case, you multiply the exponents: \( 2 \cdot 4 \). Second additional information: For \( x^{6} \cdot z^{6} \), you can notice both terms have the same exponent. This allows you to rewrite it as \( (xz)^{6} \) using the property that \( a^{m} \cdot b^{m} = (ab)^{m} \).
