Simplify and evaluate with all the steps shown:
a) 2a^3 x (3a^3)^2
If the x means multiply:
a) 2a%5E3%2A%283a%5E3%29%5E2+=+2a%5E3%2A9a%5E6+=+18a%5E9
Use * (Shift 8) for multiply
--------------
b) (1/2)^-1 (2/5)^-2
= 1%2F%28%281%2F2%29%2A%284%2F25%29%29+=+1%2F%282%2F25%29+=+25%2F2
----------
c) [(3/5)^-7]^0 = 1
Anything to the power of 0 is 1. Even 0%5E0+=+1
