Round 15,500 to the nearest ten thousand

20,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to round 15,500 to the nearest ten thousand.

We know that when the next digit to rounded digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; then we keep the same digit.

When the next digit to rounded digit is 5 or more than 5; then we round up our answer by one digit.

We can see that thousands digit in 15,500 is 5, therefore, we will round up our answer to nearest ten thousand as:

Therefore, 15,500 to the nearest ten thousand would be 20,000.

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
