Expanding (4n^4)^2 without Exponents
The expression (4n^4)^2 involves exponents, but we can rewrite it without them by using the rules of exponents.
Here's how:
Understanding the Rules of Exponents
- Power of a product: (ab)^n = a^n * b^n
- Power of a power: (a^m)^n = a^(m*n)
Applying the Rules to Our Expression
-
Apply the power of a product rule: (4n^4)^2 = 4^2 * (n^4)^2
-
Apply the power of a power rule: 4^2 * (n^4)^2 = 16 * n^(4*2)
-
Simplify: 16 * n^(4*2) = 16n^8
Therefore, (4n^4)^2 expanded without exponents is 16n^8.
