Question

Simplify the expression where possible. (r^-3 s^2 t)^4

Answer 1

there is no sign in between the two terms in the parenthese, maybe a google search on the properties of exponents would help because that's what this seems like

Explanation:

Answer 2

`((s^8t^4))/(r^(12))`

Explanation:

Assuming that you tried to write:

`(r^(-3) s^2 t)^4,`

we can multiply the 4 on the outside of the parenthesis to all the terms. Multiplying, we get

`(r^(-12)s^8t^4)`

Because you don't want any negative powers in the top, we can move it down to get:

`((s^8t^4))/(r^(12))`
