Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(7c7)2
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power of a power rule to the expression (7c7)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 2 being applied to both 7 and c7. (7c7)2=72×(c7)2
Calculate 72: Calculate 72.72 is 7 multiplied by itself, which equals 49.72=7×7=49
Calculate (c7)2: Calculate (c7)2. Using the power of a power rule, we multiply the exponents 7 and 2. (c7)2=c(7×2)=c14
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.We have found that 72=49 and (c7)2=c14. Now we combine these to express the simplified form of the original expression.(7c7)2=49c14
