Question 31763
{{{ (3x^0)(-2x)^4/24x^5 }}}
Anything to the 0 equals 1
{{{ (3)(-2x)^4/24x^5 }}}
work the (-2x)^4  there is an understood 1 on the -2 and the x
when working power to power, we multiply the exponents
{{{ (3)(-2^4)(x^4)/24x^5 }}}
Work the -2^4
{{{ (3)(16)(x^4)/24x^5 }}}
Multiply
{{{ 48x^4/24x^5 }}}
Reduce the numbers
{{{ 2x^4/x^5 }}}
Reduce the variables
{{{ 2/x }}}
Dead on!!
