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

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?
