Question

Simplify this problem

Answer 1

Answer: a^(-6)/27b^12

Step-by-step explanation:1. First you open the bracket and then after opening the brackets the exponents get multiplied.

2. For numerator a^(-2) - When (-2) will be multiplied with 3 it gives (-6)

3. For denominator 3b^4 - 3^3 = 26 and b^(4*3) = b^12

4. So the final answer is a^(-6)/27b^12

Answer 2

The simplified version of this problem would be either:

1. a^-6 / 27*b^12
2. 1 / 27*a^6*b^12

You first distribute the exponent (^3) to the numbers. When you're multiplying a variable with an exponent, you multiply the exponents. For example, "a^-2" multiplied by "^3" is "a^-6". You do this for the top and bottom.

Then we can take it further, and we can turn "a^-6" into a positive exponent by flipping it. Thus, gives us:

1 / 27*a^6*b^12
