Question 158693: how do i solve this? (-8000)^4/3.This is what i had tried but am now stuck.

Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
when you have a fractional exponent, the numerator is a power and the denominator is a root

8000^(4/3)=[cuberoot(8000)]^4

cuberoot(8000)=[cuberoot(8)]=2*10=20

20^4=(2^4)*(10^4)=16*10000=160000
