Question

can you simplify (1/4a^8b^5)^2 make sure you simplify it by hand-drawing it :)

Answer 1

Answer:

• $\frac{1}{16} a^{16} b^{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

• $(\frac{1}{4} a^8b^5)^{2}$ =
• $(\frac{1}{4}) ^{2} a^{8*2} b^{5*2}$ =
• $\frac{1}{16} a^{16} b^{10}$

Answer 2

• (ab)^n=a^n×b^n

So

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (\dfrac{1}{4}a^4b^5)^2$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 1/16a^{4×2}b^{5×2}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 1/16a^8b^{10}$
