Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.\newline(b8)9(b^{-8})^{9}
  1. Identify Operation: Identify the operation needed for the exponentiation of a power.\newlineWhen raising a power to a power, we multiply the exponents.
  2. Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the exponent rule (b8)9(b^{-8})^{9}. We multiply the exponents 8-8 and 99. (b8)9=b(8×9)=b72(b^{-8})^{9} = b^{(-8 \times 9)} = b^{-72}
  3. Check Simplifications: Check for any possible simplifications or errors. There are no further simplifications possible, and no errors have been made in the calculations.
