The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \((a^{(p+q)})^{(p-q)} (a^{(q+r)})^{(q-r)} (a^{(r+p)})^{(r-p)}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Apply the Power of a Power Property**: We know that \((x^m)^n = x^{m \cdot n}\). Therefore, we can rewrite each term: \[ (a^{(p+q)})^{(p-q)} = a^{(p+q)(p-q)} \] \[ (a^{(q+r)})^{(q-r)} = a^{(q+r)(q-r)} \] \[ (a^{(r+p)})^{(r-p)} = a^{(r+p)(r-p)} \] 2. **Combine the Exponents**: Now we can combine these into a single expression: \[ a^{(p+q)(p-q)} \cdot a^{(q+r)(q-r)} \cdot a^{(r+p)(r-p)} = a^{(p+q)(p-q) + (q+r)(q-r) + (r+p)(r-p)} \] 3. **Expand Each Product**: Now we will expand each of the products in the exponent: - For \((p+q)(p-q)\): \[ (p+q)(p-q) = p^2 - q^2 \] - For \((q+r)(q-r)\): \[ (q+r)(q-r) = q^2 - r^2 \] - For \((r+p)(r-p)\): \[ (r+p)(r-p) = r^2 - p^2 \] 4. **Combine the Expanded Terms**: Now we can substitute these back into the exponent: \[ a^{(p^2 - q^2) + (q^2 - r^2) + (r^2 - p^2)} \] 5. **Simplify the Exponent**: Combine the terms in the exponent: \[ p^2 - q^2 + q^2 - r^2 + r^2 - p^2 = 0 \] 6. **Final Result**: Since we have \(a^0\), we know that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is 1: \[ a^0 = 1 \] ### Conclusion: The simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
