Answer:
They are not equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can plug in numbers to determine whether they are or are not.
Formula Given:
a*b^2 = a^2*b^2
Let's say a = 2 and b = 3
2*3^2 does not = 2^2 * 3^2
^ ^
= 18 = 36
EXAMPLE #2
a = 4, and b = 4
4 * 4^2 = 64
4^2 * 4^2 = 256
They would be equivalent if a = 1 and b =2, but for any other number, the formula would not work. They are all unequivalent.
