Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left[\left(11\:-\:4\right)^3\right]^2\:\div \left(4\:+\:3\right)^5\\\\\frac{\left(\left(11-4\right)^3\right)^2}{\left(4+3\right)^5}\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:11-4=7\\\\=\frac{\left(7^3\right)^2}{\left(4+3\right)^5}\\\\\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:4+3=7\\\\=\frac{\left(7^3\right)^2}{7^5}\\\\\left(7^3\right)^2=7^6\\\\=\frac{7^6}{7^5}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}\\\\\frac{7^6}{7^5}=7^{6-5}\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:6-5=1\\\\=7$
