5^−2 ∗ 3^−3 ∗ 4^0

any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4^0 is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5^-2=1/5^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3^-3=1/3^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you got: 1/25*1/27*1

4^0 =1 so you can disregard that. When there is a negative exponent, you flip it to either the top or bottom, whatever is the opposite, of a fraction and you can then make the exponent positive. So, 5^-2*3^-3= 1/(5^2*3^3)=1/(25*27)=1/675
