Question

Simplify the expression (x^4)^3/5

Answer 1

since the expression is raised to a power...you would multiply these exponents..

x^4 times ^3/5

what is 4 times 3/5?

Answer 2

\[\frac{ 1 }{4^{-4} }\]

Answer 3

12/5?

Answer 4

12/5 is correct

so you have x^12/5

Answer 5

What about the one I 'drew'?

Answer 6

oh...didn't even see that lol

well okay...this will be a complex fraction

so how do we write 4^-4? ...you would write 1/4^4 right? so we'll all together have

\[\frac{ 1 }{ \frac{1}{ 4^4 } }\]

how do we solve this? we "FLIP" the bottom fraction...and change the whole thing to multiplication

so it would be 1 over 4^4 over 1
which would become 1 times 4^4 over 1

so what is 1 times 4^4?

Answer 7

256
