Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(8k4)2
Apply Power to Coefficient and Variable: Apply the power to both the coefficient and the variable.When raising a power to a power, we multiply the exponents, and when raising a coefficient to a power, we simply calculate the power of the number.(8k4)2=82×(k4)2
Calculate Power of Coefficient: Calculate the power of the coefficient. 82=8×8=64
Calculate Power of Variable: Calculate the power of the variable with the exponent.(k4)2=k(4×2)=k8
Combine Results: Combine the results to express the final answer.(8k4)2=64×k8=64k8
