An exponential expression that contains a power raised to a power is simplified using the:
AProduct Property
BQuotient Property
CDistributive Property
DPower Property
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Power Property
1. Each exponent rule handles a different situation.
2. The Product Property handles multiplying expressions with the same base.
3. A power raised to a power is a different case.
4. That case is handled by the Power Property for Exponents.
