Exercise 10 Page 363

Use the Power of a Product Property. This property states that to calculate the power of a product, the power needs to be distributed to each factor.

16k^4

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the algebraic expression by using the Properties of Exponents. (- 2k)^4 In this case, we will use the Power of a Product Property. This law states that if we want to calculate the power of a product, we distribute the power to each factor and then multiply.
(- 2k)^4
(- 2)^4 k^4
16k^4
