Question 162327: by using the laws of exponents reduce to lowest form
4a^2(bc)^-1
------------ =
(-2)^2 a^3 b^-2 c
Simplify what you can above or below:
4a^2(b^-1)(c^-1)
________________
4(a^3)(b^-2)(c)
(4/4)(a^2/a^3)(b^-1/b^-2)(c^-1/c)
1a^(2-3)b^(-1--2)c^(-1-1)
1a^(-1)b(-1+2)c^(-2)
a^(-1)b^(1)c^(-2)
b/(ac^2)
there are faster ways to do this, but I tried to show every thought process...
