Q. (b43)92Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the given expression?Choose 1 answer:(A) b6(B) 924b3(c) 13b5(D) 6b
Apply power of power rule: Apply the power of a power rule.The power of a power rule states that (am)n=a(m∗n). We will apply this rule to the given expression (b43)92.Calculation: (b43)92=b(43∗92)
Multiply exponents: Multiply the exponents.We need to multiply the fractions(43) and (92) to find the new exponent for b.Calculation: (43)×(92)=366=61
Write expression with new exponent: Write the expression with the new exponent.Now that we have the new exponent, we can write the expression as b61.Calculation: (b43)92=b61
Match expression to answer choices: Match the expression to the answer choices.We need to find which answer choice is equivalent to b61.(A) b6 is not equivalent because b6=b3.(B) (92)4b3 is not equivalent because it suggests a multiplication by (92), which is not present in our expression.(C) 13b5 is not equivalent because it has a different root and exponent.(D) 6b is equivalent because 6b=b61.
