Question

HELPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!
(3x^3y^4)^2
Simplify

Answer 1

@SithsAndGiggles

Answer 2

Use the properties of exponents:
\[\left(a^b\right)^c=a^{bc}\]

Answer 3

ok But I Still Need Help

Answer 4

Ohh... So you would have \(\large 3x ^{3y ^{8}}\) right?...

Answer 5

I think the given expression says
\[\left(3x^3y^4\right)^2\]
not
\[\left(3x^{3y^4}\right)^2\]@Jhannybean

Answer 6

Ahh... no parenthesis around the powers kind of threw me off.

Answer 7

Even so, no, the exponent would also be distributed to every factor:
\[\left(abc\right)^n=a^nb^nc^n\]
So you have
\[\left(3x^3y^4\right)^2=3^2\left(x^3\right)^2\left(y^4\right)^2\]
