Question 507336: Please help me with this. I'm suppose to simplify and answer with only positive exponents (3/2)^8 (3/2)^-5 (3/2)^-4 I'm not sure what to do with the 3/2 am I raising to the power and then multipling them. I do know that with the (3/2) that have the negative exponents I flip them to (2/3) but I'm just not sure what to do with all of it together. Thank you for any help you can give.
