Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.\newline(7y6)2(7y^6)^2
  1. Apply power rule: Apply the power of a power rule.\newlineThe power of a power rule states that when you raise a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. In this case, we have (7y6)2(7y^6)^2, which means we will raise 77 to the power of 22 and y6y^6 to the power of 22.\newline(7y6)2=72×(y6)2(7y^6)^2 = 7^2 \times (y^6)^2
  2. Calculate 727^2: Calculate 727^2. 727^2 means 77 multiplied by itself, which is 4949. 72=497^2 = 49
  3. Calculate (y6)2(y^6)^2: Calculate (y6)2(y^6)^2. Using the power of a power rule, we multiply the exponents. So, (y6)2(y^6)^2 becomes y(62)y^{(6*2)}, which is y12y^{12}. (y6)2=y(62)=y12(y^6)^2 = y^{(6*2)} = y^{12}
  4. Combine results: Combine the results from Step 22 and Step 33.\newlineNow we combine the results to express the original expression using a single exponent.\newline(7y6)2=49×y12(7y^6)^2 = 49 \times y^{12}
  5. Write final expression: Write the final simplified expression.\newlineThe final simplified expression is 49y1249y^{12}.
