Do you know the first step?

anonymous · Answer

What I do is start with the Distributive Property of Multiplication. 

$$(xy)^a=x^ay^a$$ That's the formula

anonymous · Answer

So if we plug that in: 

$$6^2(x^-2)^2 (0.5x)^4$$

Do you know what to do after that?

To be honest I have no clue what to do with this expression.

jhonyy9 · Answer

so 

x^-2 = 1/x^2

6x^-2 = 6/x^2

(6x^-2)^2 = 36/x^4

(0,5x)^4 = 0,0625x^4

(36/x^4)*(0,0625x^4) = 36*0,0625 = 2,25
x^4 with x^4 simplified and remain there
