Apply Power Rule: To simplify the expression (−6q5)2, we need to apply the power of a power rule, which states that (an)m=an∗m. Here, a is −6q5, n is 1 (since any number to the power of 1 is itself), and m is 2.Calculation: (−6q5)2=(−6)2×(q5)2Math error check:
Calculate Squares: Now we need to calculate the square of −6 and the square of q5 separately.Calculation: (−6)2=36 and (q5)2=q(5∗2)=q10Math error check:
Combine Results: Combine the results from the previous step to get the final simplified expression.Calculation: 36×q10Math error check:
