Step by Step Solution

Part a Step 1. Given information.

The given expression is 3835.

Part a Step 2. Write the concept.

According to the property of exponent:

aman=am+n

The exponential expression “a to the power n” is defined as:

an=a×a×a××a(n times)

Part a Step 3. Determine the value of the expression.

The given expression can be written as:

3835=38+5=313=3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3=1594323

Thus, the value of 3835 is 1594323.

Part b Step 1. Given information.

The given expression is 107104.

Part b Step 2. Write the concept.

According to the property of exponent:

aman=amn

The exponential expression “a to the power n” is defined as:

an=a×a×a××a(n times)

Part b Step 3. Determine the value of the expression.

The given expression can be written as:

107104=1074=103=10×10×10=1000

Thus, the value of 107104 is 1000.

Part c Step 1. Given information.

The given expression is 354.

Part c Step 2. Write the concept.

According to the property of exponent:

(am)n=amn

The exponential expression “a to the power n” is defined as:

an=a×a×a××a(n times)

Part c Step 3. Determine the value of the expression.

The given expression can be written as:

(35)4=35×4=320=3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3=3486784401

Thus, the value of 354 is 3486784401.
