Given the numerical equation:

(fg^2)^2

Simplify using the properties of exponent.

Solution:

In order to simplify the properties of exponent, we must first determine what equation we are dealing with. It can be seen that the term g with an exponent and f is raised to 2 degree, hence the rules of exponent states that whenever a number with a degree is raised to another degree enclosed with a parenthesis, simply multiply the two exponents.

= (fg^2)^2

= f^2g^((2)(2))

= f^2g^4

Final answer:

= f^2g^4
