Which expression is equivalent to the given expression?
(-6ab)2

Answer:
B. 36a^2b^2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Apply exponent rule: (-a)^n = a^n, if n is even
(-6ab)^2 = (6ab)^2
(6ab)^2
2. Apply exponent rule: (a × b)^n = a^nb^n
(6ab)^2 = 6^2a^2b^2
6^2a^2b^2
3. 6^2 = 36
36a^2b^2
In other words, your answer is B.
