Q. (bd)41⋅(db)4Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the given expression assuming d is nonzero?Choose 1 answer:(A) b417d417(B) b417d−415(C) b2(D) db
Simplify expression using exponents: Simplify the expression by applying the properties of exponents.(bd)41⋅(db)4 can be rewritten as (b41⋅d41)⋅(d4b4).
Separate terms involving and : Separate the terms involving and .This gives us .
Combine exponents for b and d: Combine the exponents for b and d using the property of exponents that states a^{m} \cdot a^{n} = a^{m+n}.\newlineFor b, we have b^{111/444 + 444} = b^{111/444 + 161616/444} = b^{171717/444}.\newlineFor d, we have d^{111/444 - 444} = d^{111/444 - 161616/444} = d^{−15-15−15/444}.
Write final expression: Write the final expression.\newlineThe equivalent expression is b174⋅d−154b^{\frac{17}{4}} \cdot d^{-\frac{15}{4}}b417⋅d−415.
