help plz
Please consider exponent rules. Multiply all the inside exponents by that "-2".
wait let me write it out
\[(\frac{ xy^3 }{ x^-4y^4 }) ^-2\]
\[xy^3 \]*\[^-2\]
Okay, that's what we already saw. Now, use the exponent rules.
3*-2 right?
or 3+-2
I'll do the numerator \(\left(xy^{3}\right)^{-2} = x^{1\cdot (-2)}y^{3\cdot (-2)} = x^{-2}y^{-6}\) Multiply each interior exponent by that exterior exponent. You do the denominator.
OK SO \[X^-4 *-2\]=8 then \[y^4*-2\]=-8
right?
Try again, (-4)*(-2) = +8
ohhhhh ops
i forgot the - part
Still "A", though. Notice B and D. If we multiply everything by -2, EVERY exponent must be a multiple of 2. You can throw out B and D immediately.
thanks can you help me on another?
Sure. Start a new thread, please. Close this one.
