Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(9k5)2
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power to a power rule.When raising a power to another power, we multiply the exponents. For the base 9, which is a constant, we simply square it. For the variable k raised to the 5th power, we multiply the exponents.(9k5)2=92×(k5)2
Calculate 92: Calculate 92. 92=9×9=81
Calculate (k5)2: Calculate (k5)2.(k5)2=k(5×2)=k10
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3. 81×k10=81k10
