Question

How do I simplify this problem while using only positive exponents? Question below

Answer 1

\[(\frac{ (3x ^{3}u) }{ z ^{-1} }) ^{-3} (x ^{-3}z ^{5})\]

Answer 2

multiply the exponent first then simplify

Answer 3

do you understand that?

Answer 4

Not really, could you explain it please?

Answer 5

ok it goes like this before you can do this you first multiply 3 by 3 and the simplify it

Answer 6

does it help now?

Answer 7

so would it be \[\frac{ 27x ^{-9}u ^{-3} }{ z ^{3} } (x ^{-3}z ^{5}) \] ?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Then how would i simplify it even further?

Answer 10

minus the negative number from the positive then simplify it

Answer 11

do you remember integers?

Answer 12

No, i don't =\

Answer 13

ok so minus the negative from the numbers when you done tell me

Answer 14

Wait, wouldn't I have to multiply z^3/z^3 on both sides so they have the same denominator?

Answer 15

just do it like that ok
