Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.\newline(a4)6(a^{-4})^{6}
  1. Identify Operation: Identify the operation needed for the exponents.\newlineWhen raising a power to a power, we multiply the exponents.
  2. Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the exponent rule (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m*n}.\newlineHere, we have (a4)6(a^{-4})^6, so we multiply the exponents 4-4 and 66.\newline(a4)6=a(46)(a^{-4})^6 = a^{(-4*6)}
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication of the exponents. a(4×6)=a24a^{(-4\times 6)} = a^{-24}
  4. Express Final Answer: Express the final answer using a single exponent.\newlineThe simplified expression is a24a^{-24}.
