Question

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (4a4b)2. 16a8b 16a8b2 16a6b2 8a8b2

Answer 1

Given exponential expression : $(4a^4b)^2$.

According to exponents of exponent rule, we need to distribute whole exponent over exponents of inside terms of parenthesis.

We are given whole exponent 2 there.

We can apply exponents of exponent rule.

Therefore,

$(4a^4b)^2 = 4^2 a^{4\times2}b^2$

$4^2= 16.$

$a^{4\times2} = a^8$

Therefore, $4^2 a^{4\times2}b^2 = 16a^8b^2.$

Correct option is second option $16a^8b^2.$
