Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(12v5)2
Apply Power Separately: Apply the power to both the coefficient and the variable separately.When raising a power to a power, we distribute the exponent to both the coefficient and the variable. (12v5)2=(12)2×(v5)2
Calculate (12)2: Calculate (12)2.(12)2=12×12=144
Calculate (v5)2: Calculate (v5)2.When raising a power to another power, we multiply the exponents.(v5)2=v(5×2)=v10
Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.(12v5)2=144v10
