Question

Simplify. Express your answer as the given base raised to a single exponent.
(109)2

Answer 1

`(10^9)^2 = 10^(9*2) = 10^(18)`

The general rule is

`(a^b)^c = a^(b*c)`

Multiply the exponents.

Answer 2

Answer: 11,881

Explanation:

To simplify (109)2, we need to raise the base 109 to the exponent 2.

When raising a number to an exponent, we multiply the base by itself as many times as the exponent indicates. In this case, we want to multiply 109 by itself 2 times.

So, (109)2 = 109 * 109.

To find the result, we multiply 109 by 109. Multiplying these two numbers gives us 11,881.

Therefore, (109)2 simplifies to 11,881.
