Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(7y6)2
Apply power rule: Apply the power of a power rule.The power of a power rule states that when you raise a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. In this case, we have (7y6)2, which means we will raise 7 to the power of 2 and y6 to the power of 2.(7y6)2=72×(y6)2
Calculate 72: Calculate 72. 72 means 7 multiplied by itself, which is 49. 72=49
Calculate (y6)2: Calculate (y6)2. Using the power of a power rule, we multiply the exponents. So, (y6)2 becomes y(6∗2), which is y12. (y6)2=y(6∗2)=y12
Combine results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.Now we combine the results to express the original expression using a single exponent.(7y6)2=49×y12
Write final expression: Write the final simplified expression.The final simplified expression is 49y12.
