Question

Simplify (x8)2\left(x^{8}\right)^{2}(x
8
)
2
.

Answer 1

To simplify \((x^8)^2\), you can use the power of a power rule in exponents, which states that \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\).

Applying this rule:

\[
(x^8)^2 = x^{8 \cdot 2} = x^{16}
\]

So, \((x^8)^2\) simplifies to:

\[
\boxed{x^{16}}
\]
