Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.\newline(k4)4(k^{-4})^{-4}
  1. Identify Operation: Identify the operation needed for the exponents when raising a power to a power.\newlineWhen we raise a power to a power, we multiply the exponents.
  2. Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the exponent rule (k4)4(k^{-4})^{-4}. We multiply the exponents 4-4 and 4-4. (k4)4=k(4×4)(k^{-4})^{-4} = k^{(-4 \times -4)}
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication of the exponents.\newline4×4=16-4 \times -4 = 16\newlineSo, (k4)4=k16(k^{-4})^{-4} = k^{16}
