Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(2c5)4
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power to a power rule.When raising a power to another power, we multiply the exponents. For the expression (2c5)4, we apply this rule to the c term.(2c5)4=24×(c5)4
Simplify 24: Simplify 24.Calculate the value of 2 raised to the 4th power.24=2×2×2×2=16
Simplify (c5)4: Simplify (c5)4.Multiply the exponents for the c term.(c5)4=c(5×4)=c20
Combine Simplified Terms: Combine the simplified terms.Now that we have simplified both terms, we can combine them to get the final answer.(2c5)4=16×c20
