What is the simplified expression for 4 to the power of negative 3 multiplied by 3 to the power of 4 multiplied by 4 to the power of 2 whole over 3 to the power of 5 multiplied by 4 to the power of negative 2 ?

OpenStudy (3mar):

First type in the expression need to be simplified

OpenStudy (mhchen):

It seems like the expression is. \[\frac{ (4^{-3}*3^{4} * 4^{2} ) }{ 3^{5} * 4^{-2}}\]

OpenStudy (mhchen):

I assume it's this?

OpenStudy (emeraled345):

yes that is correct

OpenStudy (mhchen):

Here is the property to use: |dw:1476223355679:dw|

OpenStudy (mhchen):

So the 'a' in my equation, could be the 3, and the 4. The 'b' would be the exponent of a in the NUMERATOR (top) The 'c' would be the exponent of a in the DENOMINATOR (bottom)

OpenStudy (emeraled345):

alright

OpenStudy (emeraled345):

ahh... that makes sense!

OpenStudy (mhchen):

yaaaa

OpenStudy (emeraled345):

alright i know what to do now. but just to make sure, is it 4 to the power of 2 over 3 or 3 to the power of 3 over 4?
