Negative exponents work the same as positive ones, except you have to consider the inverse of the base.

So, if for example 4^3 = 64, in the same fashion you have

4^{-3} = \dfrac{1}{4^3} = \dfrac{1}{64}

So, negative exponents lead to a fraction with numerator 1 and denominator the same expression, but with positive exponent.

So, in your case, let's work with the inner parenthesis first:

6a^{-4}b^2 = 6 \dfrac{1}{a^4}b^2 = \dfrac{6b^2}{a^4}

Now, if we want to raise this to the negative two, we have

\left(\dfrac{6b^2}{a^4}\right)^{-2} = \dfrac{1}{\left(\frac{6b^2}{a^4}\right)^2}} = \dfrac{1}{\frac{36b^4}{a^8}} = \dfrac{a^8}{36b^4}

the cost of a phone call lasting 3 minutes 30 seconds was 52.5 cents . at this rate what was the cost of a call lasting 5 minute
Effectus [21]

Answer:

80 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest place to start for this is to calculate how much it costs per minute of call time. To do this, if we know that it costs 52.5 cents to call for 3.5 minutes, we can divide those two numbers to get how much it costs per minute.

52.5/3.5 = 15

If it costs 15 cents per minute, and we want to know how much it would cost to call for 5.33 (5 and 1/3 of a minute), then we multiply our 15 cents a minute by the number of minutes to get the final cost.

15 x 5.33 = 79.99

Because we can't have 99/100 cents, rounding up to 80 is important to get a proper answer.
