The simplification of (-7)⁵ᐟ³ * (1/56)⁵ᐟ³ results to -1/32

How to simplify exponential expression.

An exponential expression is a mathematical expression that involves an exponent, where a number (base) is raised to a power (exponent). It has the general form (aⁿ), where (a) is the base and (n) is the exponent.

Given

(-7)⁵ᐟ³ * (1/56)⁵ᐟ³

Combine the two terms and take under one exponent.

= (-7*1/56)⁵ᐟ³

Multiple out the numerator

=(-7/56)⁵ᐟ³

Divide by 7

=(-1/8)⁵ᐟ³

Take the cube root of -1/8

= (-1/2)⁵

Raise the result to power of five

= -1/32

The simplification of (-7)⁵ᐟ³ * (1/56)⁵ᐟ³ results to -1/32
