Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.\newline(j4)2(j^{-4})^2
  1. Identify Operation: Identify the operation needed for the exponentiation of an exponent.\newlineWhen raising a power to a power, we multiply the exponents.\newline(j4)2=j(4×2)(j^{-4})^2 = j^{(-4 \times 2)}
  2. Multiply Exponents: Perform the multiplication of the exponents.\newline4×2=8-4 \times 2 = -8\newlineSo, (j4)2=j8(j^{-4})^2 = j^{-8}
  3. Express Final Answer: Express the final answer using a single exponent.\newlineThe expression is already simplified to a single exponent, which is 8-8.\newlineTherefore, the final answer is j8j^{-8}.
