Question

Someone HELP ME PLEEEASEEE!!
what is the simplified form of the exression [2/5x^3]^2

Answer 1

\[\left( \frac{ 2 }{ 5x^3 } \right)^2 \implies \frac{ 2^2 }{ (5x^3)^2 }\]

Answer 2

is that the final answer ? @iambatman

Answer 3

Nope, you have to simplify it more, that's why I left it for you

Answer 4

Remember
\[(x^n)^m \implies x^{nm}\]

Answer 5

so its gonna be 2^2/5x^22 ? @iambatman

Answer 6

No, what is 2^2?

Answer 7

Yes, what does that equal?

Answer 8

Do you know what that means

Answer 9

4

Answer 10

Yes, so now what's (5x^3)^2

Answer 11

125x^2 ?

Answer 12

i think i got the wrong answer

Answer 13

\[(5x^3)^2 \implies 25x^6\]

Answer 14

Do you see how I got that?

Answer 15

how did u get 25 ?

Answer 16

\[(5x^3)^2 \implies 5^2x^{3 \times 2} \implies 25x^6\]

Answer 17

Does that make sense?

Answer 18

oh okay, so then will we multiply 25 by 6 or is that the final answer

Answer 19

No, you don't multiply by the variable, that x does not mean multiply, it's a variable, like it could be, y, z, b, what ever.

Answer 20

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 25x^6 }\] this would be your answer, but next time don't worry about the answer too much, try to figure out how to simplify the best you can.

Answer 21

Knowing the answer doesn't help, it's doing the problem itself that will help you learn.

Answer 22

so we have to follow the PEDMAS rule right ?

Answer 23

Yes

Answer 24

But that's your final answer

Answer 25

Unless you want decimals

Answer 26

okay so theres this other problem [t^4/7y^3]^-3
how do i do it with letters ?
