Question

Simplify 3(2m^3n^-2)^4

Answer 1

Answer:

(48 m^12)/n^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

3 ((2 m^3)/(n^2))^4

Multiply each exponent in (2 m^3)/(n^2) by 4:

3×2^4 m^(4×3) n^(-2×4)

4 (-2) = -8:

3×2^4 m^(4×3) n^(-8)

4×3 = 12:

(3×2^4 m^12)/(n^8)

2^4 = (2^2)^2:

(3 (2^2)^2 m^12)/(n^8)

2^2 = 4:

(3×4^2 m^12)/(n^8)

4^2 = 16:

(3×16 m^12)/(n^8)

3×16 = 48:

Answer: (48 m^12)/n^8
