(m^3n)^-3/m^-7n^8

omg this is confusing i gotta rewrite it
\( \huge{ (m^{3n})^{-3} \over (m^{-7n})^{8}} \)
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
is that it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol.. yes
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
ok so the first thing we would do is apply the law of exponents which is
\(\large(a^n)^m=a^{m*n} \)

so in the numerator we have
\( \large(m^{3n})^{-3}=m^{3n*-3}=? \)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
where would the -3 go?
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
like i showed u u keep the base m and mutiply the exponents 3n*(-3)
so \(\large(m^{3n})^{-3}=m^{3n*(-3)}=m^{-9n} \)
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
and lets go to the denominator
\(\large (m^{-7n})^{8}=m^{-7n*8}=m^{-56n} \)
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
so lets put the pieces together, so we have
\(\huge{m^{-9n} \over m^{-56n}} \)

when dividing with exponents. If the bases are the same then we keep the base and subtract the exponents
OpenStudy (anonymous):
my bad.. so its gonna be m^56n/m^9n
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
\( \huge m^{-9n-(-56n)} =? \)
OpenStudy (swissgirl):
\( \large m^{56n-9n}=? \)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/m^47n

hmmmmm
\( m^{47n}\) is the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok. thanks!
