when doing operations with polynomials with exponents do you distribute the exponents in the problem such as (2f^4)^6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, 2^6 * f^24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2*6 and then 4+6 = 12f^10 am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. When it is a power to a power \[x ^{a^{b}} = x ^{ab}\] so 2^6 * f^24 64f^24

ok thanks
