Explanation
Given the following expression
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Simplify (4 }e^{-8x})^{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \text{This expression can be written as} \\ (4\cdot\text{ }e^{-8x})^{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \text{Splitting the expression, we can have the below expression} \\ (4)^{\frac{1}{2}}\cdot(^{}e^{-8x})^{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \text{According to the law of indicies} \\ x^{\frac{1}{2}}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{x} \\ \text{Hence, we have the following expression} \\ \sqrt[]{4\text{ }}\cdot\text{ (}e^{-8x\cdot\text{ }\frac{1}{2}}) \\ 2\cdot\text{ }e^{-4x} \\ 2e^{-4x} \\ \text{Therefore, the simplified form is 2}e^{-4x} \\ \frac{2}{e^{4x}} \end{gathered}[/tex]
