Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(8u4)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.(8u4)2=82×(u4)2
Calculate 82: Calculate 82.82=8×8=64
Calculate (u4)2: Calculate (u4)2.(u4)2=u(4×2)=u8
Combine results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.(8u4)2=64×u8
