Question

What would the next step look like for simplifying the expression with the exponent?

Answer 1

Given the expression below

`\left(11c^9\right)^2`

The next step in simplifying the expression with the exponent will be

By applying exponent rule

`\begin{gathered} \left(a\cdot \:b\right)^n=a^nb^n \\ (11c^9)^2=11^2\cdot c^(9\cdot2) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is

`\begin{equation*} 11^2\cdot c^(9\cdot2) \end{equation*}`
