Question

( r^7 s^-5 ) ^6 over ( 2r^-4 s^-4 ) ^4 I don't get it at all!

Answer 1

Is this supposed to be simplified?

Answer 2

The answer is r^58 over 165^14 so I guess not. I just have no idea how to get that answer

Answer 3

Here is what I would do. Multiply the exponent 6 by 7 and 5. Do this for the denominator.

Answer 4

But when I multipy 6 by the -5 exponent I'm not allowed to have a negative exponent in my answer so I don't know what to do next

Answer 5

All what a negative exponent means is that it is that value over 1 For example r^-3 simply means 1/r^3

Answer 6

I know but since it's already over another equation I didn't know how to do it

Answer 7

if it has a negative exponent and it is in the numberator, you move it to the denominator, if it has a negative exponent in the denominator, simply move it to the numerator. All of the values are multiplied so you shouldn't have any issues.

Answer 8

Okay I'm gonna try to work it out now

Answer 9

I don't think you wrote the correct answer.

Answer 10

its r^58/ 16s^14

Answer 11

Thats what it says in the back of the book

Answer 12

Oh sorry I couldn't read my teachers handwriting

Answer 13

I'm still getting the wrong answer

Answer 14
