Question

Math 8 Q1 (Pre-Algebra) / Exponent Rules

Use the Power Rule of Exponents to simplify the expression (62)4.(1 point)

Answer 1

The Power Rule of Exponents states that when you raise a power to another power, you multiply the exponents.

In this case, we have (62)4. We can rewrite this as (6^2)4.

Using the power rule, we multiply the exponents, so we have 6^(2*4), which simplifies to 6^8.

Therefore, the expression (62)4 simplifies to 6^8.
