Simplify (e^(-x))^2

Problem

(e(−x))2

Solution

1. Identify the power of a power rule for exponents, which states that (am)n=a(m⋅n)

2. Apply the rule by multiplying the inner exponent −x by the outer exponent 2

3. Multiply the terms in the exponent to get −2*x

4. Rewrite the expression in its simplified form e(−2*x)

Final Answer

(e(−x))2=e(−2*x)
