Full solution

Q. Write in exponential notation:\newline(3a2b)4(3a^{2}b)^{4}
  1. Apply Power of Product Property: Apply the power of a product property to the expression.\newlineThe power of a product property states that (xy)n=xn×yn(xy)^n = x^n \times y^n. In this case, we have a product of 33, a2a^2, and bb, all raised to the power of 44.\newline(3a2b)4=34×(a2)4×b4(3a^{2}b)^{4} = 3^4 \times (a^2)^4 \times b^4
  2. Simplify Each Part: Simplify each part of the product separately.\newlineFirst, calculate 343^4, which is 3×3×3×33 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3.\newline34=813^4 = 81\newlineNext, apply the power of a power property to (a2)4(a^2)^4, which states that (xm)n=xmn(x^m)^n = x^{m*n}.\newline(a2)4=a24=a8(a^2)^4 = a^{2*4} = a^8\newlineLastly, b4b^4 remains as it is since it's already in exponential form.
  3. Combine Simplified Parts: Combine the simplified parts to write the final expression in exponential notation.\newlineThe final expression is the product of 8181, a8a^8, and b4b^4.\newline81×a8×b481 \times a^8 \times b^4
