Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent. (10c4)2
Apply power rule: Apply the power of a power rule to (10c4)2. The power of a power rule states that (am)n=am∗n. We will apply this rule to both the numerical part and the variable part of the expression. (10c4)2=(102)×(c4)2
Calculate square of 10: Calculate the square of 10. 102=10×10=100
Apply power rule to c4: Apply the power of a power rule to c4 raised to the power of 2. (c4)2=c(4∗2)=c8
Combine results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.(10c4)2=100⋅c8
