Exercise 9 Page 327

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.

0.25m^2n^2

Practice makes perfect

We want to simplify the algebraic expression by using the Properties of Exponents. (0.5mn)^2 In this case, we will use the Power of a Product Property. This property states that if we want to calculate the power of a product, we distribute the power to each factor and then multiply.

(0.5mn)^2

(a b)^m=a^m b^m

0.5^2m^2n^2

Calculate power

0.25m^2n^2
