Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(7u3)2
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power to a power rule.When raising a power to another power, we multiply the exponents. For the expression (7u3)2, we apply the exponent of 2 to both the base 7 and the exponent of u3.(7u3)2=72×(u3)2
Calculate 72: Calculate 72.72 is 7 multiplied by itself.72=7×7=49
Calculate (u3)2: Calculate (u3)2. When raising a power to another power, we multiply the exponents. The exponent for u is 3, and we are raising it to the power of 2. (u3)2=u(3×2)=u6
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.We have found that 72=49 and (u3)2=u6. Now we combine these to express the simplified form of the original expression.(7u3)2=49×u6=49u6
