Question

Simplify (q with an exponent of 2) with an exponent of 6

Answer 1

To simplify \( q^2 \) raised to the power of 6, you can use the power of a power property of exponents, which states that \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\).

Applying this property:

\[
(q^2)^6 = q^{2 \cdot 6} = q^{12}
\]

So, the simplified form is:

\[
q^{12}
\]
