Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(7m7)2
Apply power rule: Apply the power of a power rule.The power of a power rule states that when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. In this case, we have (7m7)2, which means we need to apply the exponent of 2 to both 7 and m7.(7m7)2=72×(m7)2
Calculate 72: Calculate 72. 72 means 7 multiplied by itself, which is 49. 72=49
Calculate (m7)2: Calculate (m7)2. Using the power of a power rule, we multiply the exponents 7 and 2. (m7)2=m(7∗2)=m14
Combine results: Combine the results.Now we combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3 to get the final simplified expression.(7m7)2=49×m14
