Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent. (6y6)2
Apply power rule: Apply the power to a power rule.The power to a power rule states that when you raise a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. In this case, we have (6y6)2, which means we need to apply the exponent of 2 to both the base 6 and the exponent of y6.(6y6)2=62×(y6)2
Calculate 62: Calculate 62. To find 62, we multiply 6 by itself. 62=6×6=36
Calculate (y6)2: Calculate (y6)2. To find (y6)2, we multiply the exponent 6 by the outer exponent 2. (y6)2=y(6×2)=y12
Combine results: Combine the results.Now we combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3 to get the final simplified expression.(6y6)2=36×y12
