How to simplify? I know the answer, but please show the steps.

(r^2 s)^5

Both Steve and I both answered you in 2 different posts.

Do you not look at your earlier posts?

I don't want just the answer. How did you simplify it, what are the steps?

To simplify the expression (r^2 s)^5, you can use the power of a power rule. This rule states that when you have an exponent raised to another exponent, you can simplify by multiplying the exponents together.

Let's break down the steps to simplify the expression:

1. Start with the expression (r^2 s)^5.
2. Apply the power of a power rule by multiplying the exponents: (r^(2*5) s^5).
Simplify the exponents: (r^10 s^5).
3. The expression (r^10 s^5) is the simplified form of (r^2 s)^5.

So, the simplified expression is r^10 s^5.
