The correct answer is:
2
Explanation:
If we simplify the left side of the equation (b^2)^?, it can be written as b^(2?), where ? represents an unknown exponent.
Since we want this equation to be equal to b^8, we need to find an exponent that, when applied to b^2, gives us b^8.
By comparing the exponents, we can see that 2? = 8. Solving for ?, we divide both sides of the equation by 2, giving us ? = 4.
Substituting this value back into the original equation, we have (b^2)^4 = b^8, which is true.
Which of the following values would make this equation true
(b^2)^? = b^8
