Question

Apply all relevant properties of exponents to simplify the following expression.enter your answer as a fraction without negative exponents

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

a. (4/5)^(-4)

b. (-6y/x)^(-2)

Step 02:

properties of exponents:

a.

`((4)/(5))^(-4)=((5)/(4))^4=(625)/(256)`

b.

`(-(6y)/(x))^(-2)=(-(x)/(6y))^2=(x^2)/(36y^2)`

That is the full solution.
