Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(8r4)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.(8r4)2=82×(r4)2
Calculate 82: Calculate 82.82=8×8=64
Calculate (r4)2: Calculate (r4)2.(r4)2=r(4×2)=r8
Combine results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.(8r4)2=64×r8
Write final expression: Write the final simplified expression.The expression (8r4)2 simplifies to 64r8.
