Question

Place the indicated product in the proper location on the grid. (2a ^2b ) ^4

Answer 1

Explanation:

Using the two rules: (ab)^x = (a^x)(b^x) and (a^x)^y = a^(xy)

(2a ^2b ) ^4

= (2)^4 x (a^2b)^4

= 16 x a^(2b x 4)

= 16a^(8b)

Answer 2

(2a ^2b ) ^4
= (2)^4 * (a^2b)^4
= 16 * a^(2b * 4)
= 16a^(8b)
