(x^m)^n = x ^(m*n)
So (p^3)^5 = p ^(3*5) = p^15

All you have to do is distribute the exponent 5 to the exponent 3 inside the parentheses.
So you get p^15.
Hope this helps!

(p^3)^5 means
(p^3)(p^3)(p^3)(p^3)(p^3), which is
p x p x p x p x p x p x p x p x p x p x p x p x p x p x p
This is p^15
The conclusion? When raising an exponent by an exponent, multiply the exponents. (a^x)^y=(a)^(x times y

p^15. Power raised to a power; just multiply the exponents.
