Question

How do you solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

4x^-4/9y^6

Step-by-step explanation:

If the exponent is outside the bracket, it means that all the terms inside will be raised to that exponent. This means that:

(2x^-2 / 3y^3)^2 = 2^2*(x^-2)^2 / 3^2*(y^3)^2

When exponents are raised to an exponent, the exponents are multiplied together, so (x^-2)^2 will = x^(-2*2) = x^-4

Going through:

2^2*(x^-2)^2 / 3^2*(y^3)^2

=4*x^-4 / 9*y^6

=4x^-4/9y^6
