simplify the following expressions. Express answer using ONLY POSITIVE EXPONENTS. (x^5yz)^4/ (xy^-3)^-3 z^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyone would like to help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it that the denominator is to the power of -3z^2 or is it to the power of -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the entire denominator is multiplied by z^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the denominator is (xy^-3)^-3 z^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lest try again, (x raised to the 5th power,y,z)raised to the 4rth power all over (x,y raised to the -3rth power)raised to the -3 power , z^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well expand the numerator and the denominator to get x^20 y^4 z^4 all over x^-3 y^-6 z^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i have that, except that i got y^9 because (-3)(-3) = 9 for the exponent
