Question

Write each expression using exponents 4 x p x 4 x p

Answer 1

`4 * p * 4 * p = 4^2p^2`

Explanation:

Given

`4 * p * 4 * p`

Required

Write as exponents

`4 * p * 4 * p`

Rearrange to collect Like Terms

`4 * 4 *p * p`

Group both items

`(4 * 4) *(p * p)`

Apply law of indices

`(4^(1+1))(p^(1+1))`

`(4^2)(p^2)`

Remove bracket

`4^2p^2`

Hence:

`4 * p * 4 * p = 4^2p^2`
