Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(11v9)2
Apply Power Separately: Apply the power to both the base number and the variable separately.When raising a power to a power, we distribute the exponent to each factor within the product. (11v9)2=112×(v9)2
Calculate 112: Calculate 112.112=11×11=121
Calculate (v9)2: Calculate (v9)2.When raising a power to another power, we multiply the exponents.(v9)2=v(9×2)=v18
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.(11v9)2=112×(v9)2=121v18
