Question 442624: Write the expression without using negative exponents. Assume that all variables represent positive numbers
(16/2,401y^4)^-3/4
options are
343y^3/8
8/343y^3
8/343y^2
343y^5/8
Can someone please show me how to work this problem?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the expression without using negative exponents. Assume that all variables represent positive numbers
(16/2,401y^4)^-3/4
----
The negative on the exponent means "invert".
The 4 on the exponent means "take the 4th root".
The 3 on the exponent mena "cube".
---------------------------------------
Inverting you get:
(2401y^4/16)^(3/4)
---
Taking the 4th root you get:
(7y/2)^3
----
Cubing you get:
(343y^3/8)
