The simple form for that question is b to the power of 4 why because b.b.b.b=b to the power of 4
Then an algebraic expression is in simplest form when an equivalent expression is found that is simpler than the original.This usually means that the simplified expression is smaller than the original.
There is no standard procedure for simplifying all algebraic expressions because there are so many different kinds of expressions, but they can be grouped into three types:
(a) those that can be simplified immediately without any preparation.
(b) those that require preparation before being simplified.
(c) those that cannot be simplified at all.
i hope that answer can hepl.....se ya.....

It's in simplest form when it can't be broken down any more. For example, if you have 4b^2+2b it could be simplified to 2b(2b+1) and that can't be broken down anymore! Good Luck!
