Expanding (4x^4)^2 Without Exponents
The expression (4x^4)^2 represents the square of the quantity 4x^4. To expand this without exponents, we need to understand the meaning of squaring something.
Squaring a quantity means multiplying it by itself.
Therefore, (4x^4)^2 can be expanded as:
(4x^4)^2 = (4x^4) * (4x^4)
Now, let's multiply the terms individually:
- 4 * 4 = 16
- x^4 * x^4 = x^8 (When multiplying exponents with the same base, we add the powers)
Combining these results, we get:
(4x^4)^2 = 16x^8
Therefore, the expanded form of (4x^4)^2 without exponents is 16x^8.
