(t^-4)^9t^2

1 answer

To simplify the expression, we can first apply the power of a power rule, which states that (a^b)^c = a^(b*c).

Applying this rule to the expression (t^-4)^9, we get t^(-4*9) = t^(-36).

Therefore, the simplified expression becomes t^(-36) * t^2.

To simplify further, we can combine the terms with the same base by adding their exponents.

t^(-36) * t^2 = t^(-36+2) = t^(-34).

So, the simplified expression is t^(-34).
