Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(k−4)−4
Identify Operation: Identify the operation needed for the exponents when raising a power to a power.When we raise a power to a power, we multiply the exponents.
Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the exponent rule (k−4)−4. We multiply the exponents −4 and −4. (k−4)−4=k(−4×−4)
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication of the exponents.−4×−4=16So, (k−4)−4=k16
