Step-by-step explanation:
The power of a number is the base together with the exponent of the number.
The given expresion is
[tex]( {8}^{2} )^{3} [/tex]
We can rewrite this as:
[tex] {8}^{2} \times {8}^{2} \times {8}^{2} [/tex]
Over here the power being multiplied is
[tex] {8}^{2} [/tex]
Also, the powers being multiplied in
[tex]( {2}^{4} )( {5}^{4} )[/tex]
are 2⁴ and 5⁴
