Answer:
a=7
b=32
Explanation:
The first one (a) is 7 because if you square a square root, you get the number inside the root. Also, technically a square root has an exponent of (1/2) so when you have a power-to-a-power (power rule of exponents) you multiply the exponents. So (
)^2 is 7.
For (b) you have to take it in two parts. Square the square root and you get 2. Square the 4 in front, you get 16. Multiply those two numbers (16 and 2) together and you get 32.
Edit: Check on your calculator, you get the same answers I got! :)
