question
lly simplify.
$(-3x^{4}y^{4})^{2}$
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Apply exponent to each factor

$(-3)^2 \cdot (x^4)^2 \cdot (y^4)^2$

Step2: Calculate constant term

$(-3)^2 = 9$

Step3: Simplify variable exponents

$(x^4)^2 = x^{4 \times 2} = x^8$, $(y^4)^2 = y^{4 \times 2} = y^8$

Step4: Combine all simplified terms

$9 \cdot x^8 \cdot y^8$

Answer:

$9x^8y^8$
