Question

Simplify?
1. ( 3 / 5 y ^ 4 ) ^-2
2. ( 2 / 5 n ^9) ^2

Answer 1

1. you take a power of -2 of the power of 4

in that case multiply the powers and get -8

(3/5)^-2 x y^-8

Answer 2

\[(a \times b)^2 = a^2 \times b^2\]yes or no ?

Answer 3

I understand the first part, but i dont get what you're asking me for the second.

Answer 4

we actually have to terms in the parentheses,
3/5 and y^4

I believe you have to take the power of ^-2 separately
on both of them

Answer 5

What are the answers for both of them?

Answer 6

the answer for the first one is this

(3/5)^-2 x y^-8
