Question 602824: ((a^6)(b^-10))^(-3/2) I need this simplified. I have been playing around with it for awhile. The best I myself have come up with is a^-9 b^15 . The simplifier gives me (a^6/b^10)^-3/2 . I KNOW the correct answer is b^15 / a^9 . I would like to know how to solve this. Please help ? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ((a^6)(b^-10))^(-3/2)
---
= [a^6/b^10]^(-3/2)
---
The negative in the exponent means "invert"
The 3 means "cube"
The 2 means "take the square root"
--------
= (b^10/a^6)^(3/2)
---
= (b^5/a^3)^(3)
---
= b^15/a^9
