I have to simplify the answer (-4p)^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the the four to the fourth power and also take the p to the fourth power.

Since your exponent is even, you will have a positive value. What do you get when you do this?

16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

256

YES! That is correct, now also take the "p" to the same power and combine them. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

256P^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow thanks

Sure, np. Just remember to always distribute the values and abide by the rules of distributing. I.e. Polynomials (2x+1)^2 use the FOIL method.
