Apply Power Rule: Apply the power of a power rule to the expression.The power of a power rule states that (xm)n=x(m∗n). We will apply this rule to each part of the expression (3a2b)4.
Apply Rule to 34: Apply the power of a power rule to the term 34. Since 3 is a constant, we raise it to the power of 4: (31)4=31∗4=34.
Apply Rule to a8: Apply the power of a power rule to the term a(2∗4).For the variable a raised to the power of 2, we raise it to the power of 4: (a2)4=a(2∗4)=a8.
Apply Rule to b4: Apply the power of a power rule to the term b4. Since there is no exponent given for b, we assume it is 1. Therefore, we raise b to the power of 4: (b1)4=b1∗4=b4.
Combine Results: Combine the results from steps 2, 3, and 4.We multiply the results of the individual terms together to get the final expression in exponential notation: 34×a8×b4.
