Question 783519
The instructions state:
 Simplify the expression.
 Assume that all variables represent positive numbers.
 Write your answer without using negative exponents. 
:
Assume the problem is:
{{{ (1.296a^4b^8)^(-1/4) }}}
the reciprocal gets rid of the neg exponent
{{{1/((1.296a^4b^8)^(1/4)) }}}
multiply the exponents inside the brackets by 1/4
{{{1/((1.296^(1/4)ab^2)) }}}
Find the 4th root of 1.296
{{{1/((1.067ab^2)) }}}
