Question

Choose the correct simplification of (9xy^5)^2.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) 81x²y¹⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

(9xy⁵)²

Because all of 9xy⁵ are in the parentheses, each component is raised to the 2nd degree.

(9)² = 81

(x)² = x²

(y⁵)² = y¹⁰ -- When you raise an exponent to another exponent, you multiply the exponents.

Now combine the components.

D) 81x²y¹⁰
