(x^3*y^1/3)^(-4/5)

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\large (x^3y^\frac{ 1}{ 3 })^{-4/5}\] When you multiply exponents like this \[\large a^m * a^n = a^{m+n}\] For this \[\huge (a^n)^m = a^{n*m}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Also, \[\huge x^{-n} = \frac{ 1 }{ x^n } \] and for the fraction powers.. \[\huge \sqrt[n]{x^m} = x^{m/n}\]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Can you simplify given these formulas/rules?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me how to do it

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\huge (x^3y^{1/3})^{-4/5}\] You get : \[\huge x^{-12/5}y^{-4/15}\] \[\huge \sqrt[5]{x^{-12}} * \sqrt[15]{y^{-4}}\] \[\huge \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt[5]{x^{12}} } * \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt[15]{y^{4}} }\]
