Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(4b9)4
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power of a power rule to the expression (4b9)4. The power of a power rule states that (an)m=an∗m. We will apply this rule to both the numerical coefficient and the variable with its exponent. (4b9)4=44×(b9)4
Calculate 44: Calculate the value of 44. 44=4×4×4×4=256
Apply Power Rule to b9: Apply the power of a power rule to (b9)4.(b9)4=b(9∗4)=b36
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.The simplified expression is 256×b36.
