Yall please help, last question Reina and Sam are multiplying (8^4)^5 (7^3)^9.
Reina's Work: (8^4)^5 (7^3)^9 = 8^4 + 5^7^3 + 9 = 8^97^12
Sam's Work: (8^4)^5 (7^3)^9 = (8^4)⋅^57^3⋅^9 = 8^207^27

correct answer is Sam's work

(8^4)^5 = 8^(4*5) = 8^20

(7^3)^9 = 7^(3*9) = 7^27

answer

Sam's Work: (8^4)^5 (7^3)^9 = (8^4)⋅^5 7^3⋅^9 = 8^20 7^27

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
