Question 68537
Simplify.  Write the answers with all exponet negative
:
(5x^-3y^-2)^2(x^0y^-1)^-4 
{{{(5x^(-3)y^(-2))^2*(x^0*y^(-1))^(-4)}}}
{{{(5^2*x(-3*2)*y^(-2*2))*(x^(0*(-4))*y^(-1(-4)))}}}
{{{(25*x^(-6)*y^(-4))*(x^0*y^4)}}}
{{{(25*x(-6+0)*y^(-4+4))}}}
{{{25x^(-6)y^0}}}
{{{25x^(-6)*(1)}}}
{{{highlight(25x^(-6))}}}
If they want the 25 to have a negative exponent, you would have to drop it into the denominator:
{{{highlight(x^(-6)/25^(-1))}}}
Happy Calculating!!!!
