Question

Simplify and rewrite each expression

Answer 1

(5a^3)(-3a^-4)

Answer 2

There aren’t any

Answer 3

\[\left( 5a ^{3} \right)\left( -3a ^{-4} \right)\]

Answer 4

It’s the same thing XD

Answer 5

Kinda

Answer 6

I was wrong. You wouldn't use FOIL or distributive. Just give me one second to write it out.

Answer 7

\[(5a ^{3})(-3a ^{-4}) = (5a ^{3})(\frac{ -3 }{a ^{4} })\]

Answer 8

What do you think you would do next?

Answer 9

By the way, the exponent rules goes like this.

\[x ^{-n} = \frac{ 1 }{x ^{n} }\]

Answer 10

@EndersWorld Do you know what you would do next in the problem?

Answer 11

\[(5a ^{3})(\frac{ -3 }{a ^{4} }) = \frac{ -15a ^{3} }{ a ^{4}}\]

Answer 12

\[\frac{ -15a ^{3} }{ a ^{4}} =\frac{ -15 }{a }\]

Answer 13

Let me know if you have any further questions.
