The equivalent expression of (10⁻² . 4⁵)⁻² is 10⁴ / 4¹⁰
How to find equivalent expression?
We have to find the expression that is equivalent to the expression below:
(10⁻² . 4⁵)⁻².
Therefore, using the law of indices,
[tex](x^{a} )^{b} = x^{ab}[/tex]
Hence, let's find the equivalent expression by applying the laws of indices.
(10⁻² . 4⁵)⁻² = 10⁴ . 4⁻¹⁰
Also, applying the law of indices,
[tex]x^{-b} = \frac{1}{x^{b} }[/tex]
Therefore,
10⁴ . 4⁻¹⁰ = 10⁴ / 4¹⁰
