Question 95098: I don't understand how to simplify this question:
(16 raised to the negative 1 power, "x" raised to the negative 4th power, "y" raised to the possitive 12th power) This whole problem is in parenthesis. Outside of the parenthesis, the entire problem is raisd to negative 3/4.

I hope this makes sense.
So I think it should be written as:
(16^-1 x^-4 y^12)^-3/4

Question 98553: I am having trouble with a question on rules of exponants. I have 6 questions to do but don't know how to reduce or move exponents (positive and negative) from one side of the equation to the other. My first question in my home work is:
open bracket n to the 5th closed bracket to the negative 6 equals 1
(n5)-6 = 1 I guess I should write it like (n^5)^-6 = 1
When I move an exponent across the equals sign does it become a root and does a negative become a positive. So that the -6 exponent would become a positive root 6??
This is on a hand out there is no text book (ISBN)
