Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.\newline(12c9)2(12c^{9})^{2}
  1. Apply power rule: Apply the power of a power rule.\newlineThe power of a power rule states that (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m*n}. Here, we have (12c9)2(12c^{9})^{2}, so we apply the rule to both the numerical part and the variable part.\newline(12c9)2=122(c9)2(12c^{9})^{2} = 12^{2} * (c^{9})^{2}
  2. Calculate numerical power: Calculate the power of the numerical part.\newlineWe need to square the number 1212.\newline122=12×12=14412^{2} = 12 \times 12 = 144
  3. Calculate variable power: Calculate the power of the variable part.\newlineUsing the power of a power rule for the variable part, we multiply the exponents.\newline(c9)2=c9×2=c18(c^{9})^{2} = c^{9\times2} = c^{18}
  4. Combine results: Combine the results.\newlineNow we combine the results from Step 22 and Step 33 to get the final simplified form.\newline(12c9)2=144c18(12c^{9})^{2} = 144c^{18}
