Tanisha and Neal are simplifying the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript 4 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 5 Baseline) Ov
er 3 (x squared) (y Superscript negative 3 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript 4. They each began the same way. Tanisha’s Work Neal’s Work (StartFraction (x Superscript 4 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 5 Baseline) Over 3 (x squared) (y Superscript negative 3 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript 4 = (StartFraction (x squared) (y Superscript negative 2 Baseline) Over 3 EndFraction) Superscript 4 (StartFraction (x Superscript 4 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 5 Baseline) Over 3 (x squared) (y Superscript negative 3 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript 4 = StartFraction (x Superscript 16 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 20 Baseline) Over (3 Superscript 4 Baseline (x Superscript 8 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 12 Baseline) EndFraction Which statements are true about each person’s work? Check all that apply. Tanisha correctly simplified the power of a product in her first step by adding exponents. Tanisha’s next step is to apply the power of a product. Tanisha’s work is correct. Neal’s next step is to apply the quotient of powers. The correct simplified answer is StartFraction x Superscript 8 Baseline Over 3 y Superscript 8 Baseline EndFraction. Neal’s work is correct.
