\[\frac{3^4}{3^5}=\frac{1}{3^{5-4}}=\frac{1}{3}\] takes care of the threes

OpenStudy (spring98):

1/3 is answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no that only takes care of the threes you still have to take care of the fours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{4^{-3}\times 4^2}{4^{-2}}\]is still there requires some bookkeeping with the exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can write this in one line as \[4^{-3}\times 4^2\times 4^2\] then add up the exponents

OpenStudy (spring98):

so is it 4^1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah better know as \(4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

final answer \[\huge \frac{4}{3}\]

OpenStudy (spring98):
