((-4)^5)^8 / ((-4)^7)^3

= (-4)^40 / (-4)^21

= (-4)^20

So you need to simplify the two fractions by first simplifying the exponent. this would mean that each deviant has one set of exponent instead of a pair.
thus, -4`40 ÷ -4`21
the two bases are equal.
#4 rule states that when a`n/b`m (fraction). if bases are the same, the exponent of the denominator is subtracted to the exponent of the numerator. assuming a & b are equal, the answer will look like this: (a`(n-m))
so apply this rule to your question. also, it'll be helpful to learn the laws of indices.

final answer: 4`19
NOTE: ` stands for 'the power of`
so in word form your answer is four to the power of nineteen.

Hope this helped :)

Need help with finding the surface area and volume for this please thanks I just need step by step help so I can understand it m

Allisa [31]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

First, do the top and bottom. The top is 2*4*3 or 24, and the bottom is 6*4 or 24.

Now, do the sides. It is a staircase that you can split into 6 2x2 blocks, or 6*4=24. Do the same with the other side to get 24 again.

Now for the front and back. This is 2*4*3 and 6*4 again, or 24 and 24.

Now you have 6 24's so just multiply these and get 144.

your mother gave you $13.32 cents with which to buy a present. this covered 3/5 of the cost. how much did the present cost

Fynjy0 [20]

The best thing to do is to find out what 1/5 is equal to, and you can do this by dividing $13.32 by 3
13.32/3= 4.44
Therefore, 1/5 = $4.44
As you're looking for the total amount, you multiply this by 5.
$4.44*5= $22.20
Therefore, the present cost $22.20
Hope this helps :)
