use one exponent to condense the expression below. then compute and/or simplify.
-3z·-3z·-3z·-3z
answer attempt 1 out of
type the base, then use the ( a^b ) button or type the ^ symbol on your keyboard for the exponent.
condensed form:
answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Count repeated factors

There are 4 copies of $-3z$ multiplied together.

Step2: Write condensed exponential form

When multiplying identical factors, we use an exponent: $(-3z)^4$

Step3: Simplify the exponential expression

First expand the power:
$$(-3z)^4 = (-3)^4 \cdot z^4$$
Calculate $(-3)^4 = 81$, so:
$$(-3)^4 \cdot z^4 = 81z^4$$

Answer:

Condensed Form: $(-3z)^4$
