Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.\newline(7b6)2(7b^6)^2
  1. Apply power rule: Apply the power of a power rule.\newlineThe power of a power rule states that when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. In this case, we have (7b6)2(7b^6)^2, which means we need to apply the exponent of 22 to both 77 and b6b^6.\newline(7b6)2=72×(b6)2(7b^6)^2 = 7^2 \times (b^6)^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 (b6)2(b^6)^2: Calculate (b6)2(b^6)^2. Using the power of a power rule, we multiply the exponents 66 and 22. (b6)2=b(6×2)=b12(b^6)^2 = b^{(6 \times 2)} = b^{12}
  4. Combine results: Combine the results.\newlineNow we combine the results from Step 22 and Step 33 to express the simplified form of the original expression.\newline(7b6)2=49×b12=49b12(7b^6)^2 = 49 \times b^{12} = 49b^{12}
