Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a test/hw, I'll give a hint.
This problem at first can seem a bit difficult with q's and power's everywhere.
But let's take a step backward. A power is when your mutiplying something by itself again and again.
Ex: 3^3=3 times 3 times 3
But what if we had something liiiike this:
(3^3)2
In this case its now
(3 times 3 times 3)^2, so its "techinicaly" (27)^2. And you would a fairly large number, which I'm to lazy to solve. But that's not the point.
We've seen what a power is deconstructed, and what a power is. Because my explantion probably confused you more than it helped, I'll give an example.
(2^2)^2=(2 times 2)^2=(4^2=16=2^4
However, there is a shorter way to solve it.
(2^2)^2=2^(2 times 2)=2^4
Hope this helps.
