Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(2k8)4
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule to the expression (2k8)4. The power rule states that when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. For the coefficient 2, which is raised to the power of 1 implicitly, we will also apply the power rule. (2k8)4=24×(k8)4
Calculate 24: Calculate 24.24=2×2×2×2=16
Calculate (k8)4: Calculate (k8)4.(k8)4=k(8×4)=k32
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.(2k8)4=24×k32=16k32
