Answer 3

i got 1/4a^4 when i did it is that right

Answer 4

\[(1/8a^6)\] raised to the -2/3,
or \[8a^6\] raised to the 2/3

Answer 5

Sorry, i skipped the first step of flipping the numerator and denominator to get rid of the negative in front of the 6.

64a^12 raised to the 1/3 power

Answer 6

the cubed root of 64 is 4, 4*4*4 = 64 and the cubed root of a^12 leads to 4

c.1.4a^4
d. none of these

Answer 9
