Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

In the following exercises, we have to simplify given expression.
(m2n)2(2mn5)4(3pq4)2(6p6q)2

02

Part (a) Step 1. Given expression is (m2n)2(2mn5)4

Use the Power Property.

(m2n)2(2mn5)4=(m2)2·(n)2·(2)4·(m)4·(n5)4(m2n)2(2mn5)4=m2·2·n2·16·m4·n5·4(m2n)2(2mn5)4=m4·n2·16·m4·n20

Add the exponents.

(m2n)2(2mn5)4=16·m4+4·n20+2(m2n)2(2mn5)4=16m8n22

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given expression is (3pq4)2(6p6q)2

Use the Power Property.

(3pq4)2(6p6q)2=(3)2·(p)2·(q4)2·(6)2·(p6)2·(q)2(3pq4)2(6p6q)2=9·p2·q4·2·36·p6·2·q2(3pq4)2(6p6q)2=9·p2·q8·36·p12·q2

Add the exponents.

(3pq4)2(6p6q)2=9·36·p12+2·q2+8(3pq4)2(6p6q)2=324p14q10
