Question

Exponents question....

Question will be given below

Answer 1

\[\frac{ -2a^3b^{-2}a^4 }{ (-a^2b^{-1})^2 }\]

Answer 2

okay so here's my work...

Answer 3

\[\frac{ -2a^3b^{-2}a^4 }{ -a^4b^{-2} }\implies \frac{ -2a^7b^{-2} }{ a^4b^{-2} }\implies -2a^{11}\]

Answer 4

Sorry but i have to go eat dinner

Answer 5

can you just check my work and i will look at it asap

Answer 6

almost, just two small mistakes

Answer 7

first mistake is the denominator

(-a^2*b^-1)^2 = a^2*b^-4

the negative sign cancels out, since (-1)^2 = 1

Answer 8

second mistake is

a^7/a^4 = a^3, not a^11 (subtract the exponents)

Answer 9

@Vocaloid So would 2a^3 be correct?

Answer 10

almost, -2a^3

Answer 11

yeah sorry about that.. it was a typo so -2a^3 is correct right?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

Thank YOU!
