I need help to solve a problem...
Post it in here and someone will help :)
yes? Post it.. we will help you..
\[\left(\begin{matrix}x ^{-3} \\ y ^{4}\end{matrix}\right) ^{-3}\]
step by step to get the answer
Alright first step you can re-write that as \[\left(\begin{matrix}y^{4} \\ x^{-3}\end{matrix}\right)^3\] By knowing that a negative power simply means 1 over the brackets, which allows us to invert them
so i just make the -3 a positive that is out side of the paraenthesis?
the answer i came up with is \[\left(\begin{matrix}y ^{28} \\ x ^{-21}\end{matrix}\right)\]
is this a matrix? or is it \[(\frac{x^{-3}}{y^4})^{-3}\]
if it is the second one, multiply the exponents to get \[\frac{x^9}{y^{-12}}\]
then get rid of the negative exponent by writing \[x^9y^{12}\]
so it doesn't go into a fractional form b/c it dont have a - right?
1/y^-12 is same as y^12...
