OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow, what grade are you in???

OpenStudy (mertsj):

(-4p^11q)^3=(-4)^3(p^11)^3(q^1)^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will it be -12p11q? Like, I am confused on what to multiply

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is -4 raised to the third power?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh.. okay so -64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not -12 I see my mistake

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is p^11 raised to the 3 power?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1331

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is 11 times 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh.. 33

OpenStudy (mertsj):

When raising to a power you multiply the exponents. You do NOT raise the exponent to the power.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is q^1 raised to the third power?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That makes sense! So it would be 3

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is your final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-64p33q3

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Very good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

33 and 3 are exponents right?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was wondering If I gt this problem correct... Is this answer right? -125q6p3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. If you make the 6 and the 3 exponents.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
