Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(j−4)2
Identify Operation: Identify the operation needed for the exponentiation of an exponent.When raising a power to a power, we multiply the exponents.(j−4)2=j(−4×2)
Multiply Exponents: Perform the multiplication of the exponents.−4×2=−8So, (j−4)2=j−8
Express Final Answer: Express the final answer using a single exponent.The expression is already simplified to a single exponent, which is −8.Therefore, the final answer is j−8.
