Evaluate ab 2 for a 4 and b 3Solutionab 2 for a 4 and b 3

Evaluate (ab) ² for a = 4 and b= 3.

Solution

(ab) ² for a = 4 and b= 3

here ab means a*b     (a multiply b)

so we subtituite the value of a and b

(4*3)²                            // here in (4*3)²     \"2\" is the exponent

(12)²               //    since the exponent is \"2\" so we need to multiply the base(12) \"2\" times

12 *12                //        12² = 12 *12
