Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.\newline(11a9)2(11a^9)^2
  1. Apply power rule: Apply the power of a power rule.\newlineThe power of a power rule states that when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. In this case, we have (11a9)2(11a^9)^2, which means we need to square both the base 1111 and the exponent of a9a^9.\newline(11a9)2=112×(a9)2(11a^9)^2 = 11^2 \times (a^9)^2
  2. Calculate 11211^2: Calculate 11211^2.\newlineTo find 11211^2, we multiply 1111 by itself.\newline112=11×11=12111^2 = 11 \times 11 = 121
  3. Calculate (a9)2(a^9)^2: Calculate (a9)2(a^9)^2.\newlineTo find (a9)2(a^9)^2, we multiply the exponent 99 by 22.\newline(a9)2=a(9×2)=a18(a^9)^2 = a^{(9 \times 2)} = a^{18}
  4. Combine results: Combine the results from Step 22 and Step 33.\newlineNow we combine the results to express the simplified form of the original expression.\newline(11a9)2=121×a18(11a^9)^2 = 121 \times a^{18}
