We're going to simplify 8a cubed b squared, all over 16a squared b cubed, all raised to the fourth power.
00:14
So this four is going to be distributed to everything.
00:19
So this will look like 8 raised to the fourth power, a to the 12th.
00:27
Since it's raised of the power, we're multiplying our exponents, b to the 8, and then we do the same thing at the bottom.
00:34
This is 16 raised to the 4th power, a to the 8th power, and b to the 12th power.
00:46
First, let me simplify the 8 and the 16 power.
00:49
So in order to simplify this, an easy way to do it is to make them have the same base.
00:54
So 8 is like saying the same thing as 2 to the 3rd power, and then i'm going to raise that to the 4th power.
01:01
And then my 16 is like saying 2 to the 4th power, raise to the 4th power...
