What is the value of y^-5/x^-3 for x = 2 and y = -4 open

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

confused?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Very.

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

ok ill try my best

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mhmm.

susbtitute and solve: \[\frac{ y^{-5} }{ x^{-3} }=\frac{ (-4)^{-5} }{ 2^{-3} }\] use rule a^{-b}=1/(a^b)

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

\[\frac{ \frac{ 1 }{ (-4)^5 } }{ \frac{ 1 }{ 2^3} }=\frac{ 1 }{ -1024 }*8=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

128?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry. I really don't know how to do this

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

it would be -1/128, not 128

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I thought. Thank you.
