2x^4*4^-4/(2x^3)^-3

Allison:

16x^9? @Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

hm, I'm not sure 2x^4*4^-4/(2x^3)^-3 we can bring the (2x^3)^-3 into the numerator and remove the negative sign from the exponent 2x^4*4^-4 * (2x^3)^3 expanding the (2x^3)^3 gives us 2^3 * x^9 2x^4*4^-4 * 2^3 * x^9

Vocaloid:

separating coefficients from variables 2 * 4^-4 * 2^3 and x^4 * x^9

Vocaloid:

should be straightforward from there (assuming I'm interpreting the original format correctly)

Allison:

I got 16x^9?

Vocaloid:

yeah that's not what I got 2 * 4^-4 * 2^3 ---> 1/16 and x^4 * x^9 ---> x^13 --> (x^13)/16

Allison:

Oh

Allison:

Whoop whoop I get to tell my teacher he's wrong >:)

Vocaloid:

may I see the original formatting of the problem?

Allison:

Yes

Allison:

\[\frac{ 2x^{4} \times x^{-4} }{ (2x^{3})^{-3} }\]

Allison:

I'm sorry, I know what I wrote looked confusing now.

Vocaloid:

oh in that case your original answer was good

Allison:

Oh

Vocaloid:

anyway I can't really stay long, if you need to check your work you can just plug your problems into wolframalpha.com or mathway for the simplified solutions (make sure to format correctly 'cause these programs are very particular)

Allison:

Oh, okay, thank you for your help!!
