QuestionSimplify (3.2)(3.22)4(3.2)(3.2^2)^4. Choices: (3.2)9(3.2)^9, (3.2)8(3.2)^8, (3.2)7(3.2)^7, (3.2)6(3.2)^6.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are simplifying the expression (3.)(3.)4(3.)\left(3.^{}\right)^{4} . We will use the laws of exponents to simplify the expression

STEP 2

First, we need to simplify the expression inside the parentheses, (.22)4(.2^{2})^{4}. According to the power of a power rule, when you raise a power to a power, you multiply the exponents.
(am)n=am×n(a^{m})^{n} = a^{m \times n}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for aa, mm, and nn to calculate the simplified expression.
(3.22)=3.22×(3.2^{2})^{} =3.2^{2 \times}

STEP 4

Calculate the exponent.
3.22×4=3.283.2^{2 \times4} =3.2^{8}

STEP 5

Now, we need to multiply 3.23.2 by 3.283.2^{8}. According to the product of powers rule, when you multiply powers with the same base, you add the exponents.
am×an=am+na^{m} \times a^{n} = a^{m + n}

STEP 6

Plug in the given values for aa, mm, and nn to calculate the simplified expression.
3.2×3.28=3.21+83.2 \times3.2^{8} =3.2^{1 +8}

STEP 7

Calculate the exponent.
3.21+=3.293.2^{1 +} =3.2^{9}So, the simplified expression is (3.2)9(3.2)^{9}.
