Choose the correct simplification of the expression (4a^4b)^2.
\((4a^{4b} )^{2}\)
Apply exponent rule : \((a*b)^n = a^nb^n\)
\(4^2(a ^{4b})^2\)
\((a ^{4b} )^2\)
Apply exponent rule :
\((a^b)^c= a ^{b*c}\)
\(= a ^{8b}\)
\(= 4^2 = 16\)
\(=\ \textgreater \ 16 a ^{8b}\)
hope this helps!
Answer:
The simplified expression is \(16a^{8b}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we need to simplify the expression \((4a^{4b})^{2}\)
\((4a^{4b} )^{2}\)
Using exponent rule : \((a\times b)^{n} = a^{n}b^{n}\)
\(4^{2}(a ^{4b})^{2}\)
\(16(a ^{4b} )^2\)
Apply exponent rule :
\((a^b)^c= a ^{b*c}\)
\((a ^{4b} )^2= a ^{8b}\)
\(16a^{8b}\)
Hence, simplified expression is \(16a^{8b}\)
