OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large (t^p)^q = (t)^{p \times q}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So: \[\large (a^{-2})^{-1} = (a)^{-2 \times -1} = (a)^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Similarly, can you solve for following: \[\large (ax^3)^{-5} =??\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And one thing: \[(pt)^q = p^q \cdot t^q\]

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[1/a^5/ x^\] 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is -5 no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1*(-5) = -5 3*(-5) = -15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(ax^3)^{-5} = a^{-5} \cdot x^{-15}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two or three more steps to go now..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One more: \[\frac{t^p}{t^q} = t^{p-q}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{a^2}{(a^{-5}) \cdot (x)^{-15}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{a^{2-(-5)}}{x^{-15}} = \frac{a^7}{x^{-15}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One more: \[\frac{1}{t^{-p}} = t^p\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, finally you will get: \[a^7 \cdot x^{15}\]
