Solution:

Given the expression below

$\left(11c^9\right)^2$

The next step in simplifying the expression with the exponent will be

By applying exponent rule

$\begin{gathered} \left(a\cdot \:b\right)^n=a^nb^n \\ (11c^9)^2=11^2\cdot c^(9\cdot2) \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is

$\begin{equation*} 11^2\cdot c^(9\cdot2) \end{equation*}$
