Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.\newline(7d8)2(7d^8)^2
  1. Apply Power Rule: Apply the power of a power rule to the expression (7d8)2(7d^8)^2. The power of a power rule states that when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. In this case, we have an exponent of 22 being applied to d8d^8. (7d8)2=72×(d8)2(7d^8)^2 = 7^2 \times (d^8)^2
  2. Calculate 727^2: Calculate 727^2.\newline727^2 is 77 multiplied by itself.\newline72=7×7=497^2 = 7 \times 7 = 49
  3. Calculate (d8)2(d^8)^2: Calculate (d8)2(d^8)^2. Using the power of a power rule, we multiply the exponents 88 and 22. (d8)2=d(8×2)=d16(d^8)^2 = d^{(8 \times 2)} = d^{16}
  4. Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 22 and Step 33.\newlineWe have found that 72=497^2 = 49 and (d8)2=d16(d^8)^2 = d^{16}. Now we combine these to express the original expression as a single exponent.\newline(7d8)2=49d16(7d^8)^2 = 49d^{16}
