Question

How do you simplify `(4r^0)^4`?

Answer 1

`=color(blue)(256` ( assuming `r != 0)`

Explanation:

`(4r^0)^color(blue)(4`
Here, we need to multiply `color(blue)(4)` with the power of each term within the bracket.

`=4^color(blue)4 .r^(0. color(blue)(4)`

`=256.r^0`

`=256. 1` ------------- As (any non-zero number)`^0 = 1`

`=color(blue)(256`
