Full solution

Q. Write in exponential notation:\newline(2a2)4(2a^{2})^{4}
  1. Apply Power Rule: Apply the power of a power rule to the expression (2a2)4(2a^{2})^{4}.\newlineThe power of a power rule states that (xm)n=xmn(x^{m})^{n} = x^{m*n}. Here, we have a coefficient of 22 that also needs to be raised to the power of 44.\newline(2a2)4=24×(a2)4(2a^{2})^{4} = 2^{4} \times (a^{2})^{4}
  2. Calculate Powers: Calculate the powers separately.\newlineFirst, calculate 242^{4}, which is 2×2×2×2=162 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 16.\newlineThen, apply the power of a power rule to a2a^{2} raised to the 4th4^{\text{th}} power, which is (a2)4=a2×4=a8(a^{2})^{4} = a^{2\times4} = a^{8}.
  3. Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 22.\newlineNow, we combine the results of the calculations of 242^{4} and (a2)4(a^{2})^{4}.\newlineThis gives us 16×a816 \times a^{8}.
