You ALWAYS remove parentheses first.

That gives you [ 1/4 a⁴ b⁻² ] in the denominator, and then
you can start dividing the numerator and denominator by
their common factors ("canceling").

I think the answer to that might be 1/2 or .5ab^3 because I multiplied the bottom part -2*-2 which is 4ab^4 then the top part is 2ab -3+2= 2ab^-1 then divide 2/4 and subtract -1-4 so it's = 1/2 or .5ab^3

What is (-7)^2 × (-7)? I will mark the Brainliest, thank, and comment! Thank you!

Answer:

The answer is -343.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a term doesn't have an exponent, it's considered that the exponent is 1 (so basically, (-7)² x (-7)^1.

Multiply the terms with the same base (by adding the exponents - (-7)²+1<- (as the exponential value) (couldn't find the sign so sorry.)

Add the numbers: (-7)³

A negative base raised to an odd power equals a negative: -7³

Write the problem out: -(7 x 7 x 7).

Multiply: -343

Find the unit vector in the direction of u = (-3,2).

DENIUS [597]

$\bf \textit{unit vector for }(a,b)\implies \left( \cfrac{a}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}~~,~~\cfrac{b}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}} \right)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
(-3,2)\qquad \stackrel{unit~vector}{\implies }\qquad \left( \cfrac{-3}{\sqrt{(-3)^2+2^2}}~~,~~\cfrac{2}{\sqrt{(-3)^2+2^2}} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( -\cfrac{3}{\sqrt{13}}~~,~~ \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\right)\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \textit{and now let's \underline{rationalize} the denominator for each}
\\\\\\
-\cfrac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{13}}\implies -\cfrac{3\sqrt{13}}{13} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{13}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{13}}{13}
\\\\\\
\textit{and written in \underline{ai+bj form}}\qquad -\cfrac{3\sqrt{13}}{13}i~~~~+~~~~\cfrac{2\sqrt{13}}{13}j$
