Zero and Negative Exponents. Can someone show me how to solve them?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

got any specifics?

3/3^-4 and -3k^-3(mn)^3/p^-8

Can anyone help with those 2, those are 2 problems from a worksheet that I have. I don't understand how to do them and problems like them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 3 }{3^{-4}}=3*3^{4}=3*81=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

243?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help with the second problem?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

keep in mind that \(\bf \large a^{-{\color{red} n}} = \cfrac{1}{a^{\color{red} n}}\qquad \cfrac{1}{a^{-{\color{red} n}} }\implies \cfrac{1}{\frac{1}{a^{\color{red} n}}}\implies a^{\color{red} n}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ -3k ^{-3}\left( mn \right)^{3} }{ p ^{-8} }=\frac{ -3m ^{3}n ^{3}p ^{8} }{ k ^{3} }\]
