Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(9m6)2
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power of a power rule to the expression (9m6)2. The power of a power rule states that when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. For the coefficient 9, which is also a power (91), we will square it. For the variable m with an exponent of 6, we will multiply the exponents. (9m6)2=92×(m6)2
Calculate 92: Calculate 92. 92=9×9=81
Calculate (m6)2: Calculate (m6)2.(m6)2=m(6×2)=m12
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.(9m6)2=81×m12
Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.The final simplified expression is 81m12.
