simplify this? (2n^4h^3)^4
The formula or rule for this is \[\huge (a^m)^n = a^{m*n}\]
Also, \( (abc)^n = a^nb^nc^n \)
So it'd be \[2n ^{4}h ^{3*4}\] ?
Every factor inside the parentheses, including the 4, is raised to teh 4th power.
\[\huge 2^4 * n^{4*4} * h^{3*4}\] My bad.
okay, so it would be? \[2^{4}n ^{16}h ^{12}\]
Yes, but you can simplify 2^4 further.
2^4 equals 8, so now is that it simplifies to?
You are correct. \((2n^4h^3)^4\) Use the second rule first. When a product is raised to a power, raise every factor to that power. \(= 2^4 \cdot (n^4)^4 \cdot (h^3)^4 \) Now use the first rule. \(=16n^{16}h^{12}\)
Thanks so much :D
wlcm
Just to clarify. 2^4 = 16 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 not 8.
OH lol right sorry I was thinking 2^3 xp THANKS!
