Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent. (9g9)2
Apply power rule: Apply the power of a power rule to the expression (9g9)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 raised to the power of 2, we simply square it.(9g9)2=92×(g9)2
Calculate 92: Calculate 92. 92=9×9=81
Calculate (g9)2: Calculate (g9)2. Using the power of a power rule, we multiply the exponents. (g9)2=g(9×2)=g18
Combine results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.We have 81 for 92 and g18 for (g9)2, so we combine them to get the final simplified expression.(9g9)2=81g18
