Question

Just need confirmation again (2t^3)^4 + 2t^12?

Answer 1

It's supposed to be a equals sign!

Answer 2

Sorry.

Answer 3

first you need to apply this rule of exponents to the left side of that equation: (a^m)^n=a^m*n

Answer 4

if you did that, then you are correct

Answer 5

If the whole thing is raised to the power of 4 as suggested by the () then that would include the 2 in the base as well.. so 2^4 is also necessary

Answer 6

What...? o.o

Answer 7

If the problem has parenthesis then it means each thing in the parenthesis is to use the exponent. You can think of them separately... (2t^3)^4 = [2^4][(t^3)^4]

Answer 8

\[\large (2t^3)^4\]



\[\large (2t^3)(2t^3)(2t^3)(2t^3)\]



\[\large (2*2*2*2)(t^3*t^3*t^3*t^3)\]



\[\large 16t^{3+3+3+3}\]



\[\large 16t^{12}\]
So \[\large (2t^3)^4=16t^{12}\]
