Math
We have to follow BEDMAS, the order of operations, where brackets are first, then exponents, followed by division and multiplication, and finally addition and subtraction.
Also, we have to use the exponent law of an exponent to an exponent, we multiply the exponents with the same base.
If we forget this, we can always do it the long way.
(x^5)^3 = (x^5)(x^5)(x^5) = x^15
Similarly, (x^3)^4= (x^3)(x^3)(x^3)(x^3) = x ^12
Now that we have done the exponents, we can multiply x^15 by x^12 and get x^27.
Good luck.
