(-8000)^4/3.This is what i had tried but am now stuck. (#=square root) sorry i dont know the proper abv for it. 3^#8000^4 i know the answer is 160 000 but i dont understand how they got to that answer i tryed everything i can think of. i assume that bc i changed it to that format the negative just goes away. your help will be greatly apreciated (sorry about the spelling doing an all nighter. </SPAN>\n" );
