simplify (-4xy)^2

Solution

simplify

(- 4 x y)^{2}

Solution

16 x^{2} y^{2}

Solution steps

(- 4 x y)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

if

n

is even

(- 4 x y)^{2} = (4 x y)^{2}

= (4 x y)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

(4 x y)^{2} = 4^{2} x^{2} y^{2}

= 4^{2} x^{2} y^{2}

4^{2} = 16

= 16 x^{2} y^{2}
