Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent. (7q8)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.(7q8)2=72×(q8)2
Calculate 72: Calculate 72.72=7×7=49
Calculate (q8)2: Calculate (q8)2.(q8)2=q(8×2)=q16
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.(7q8)2=49×q16
