Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(4y7)2
Apply power rule: Apply the power to a power rule.When raising a power to another power, we multiply the exponents. We also raise the numerical coefficient to the power of 2.(4y7)2=42×(y7)2
Calculate 42: Calculate 42. 42=4×4=16
Calculate (y7)2: Calculate (y7)2.(y7)2=y(7×2)=y14
Combine results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.(4y7)2=16×y14
