Question

10x^3 y^-5 z^-2 if x=3 y=2 and z=5 express your answer as a reduced fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{27}{80}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x = 3, y = 2 and z = 5 to the given expression $10x^3y^{-5}z^{-2}$:

$10(3^3)(2^{-5})(5^{-2})\qquad\text{use}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\\\=\dfrac{10(27)}{(2^5)(5^2)}=\dfrac{270}{(32)(25)}=\dfrac{270}{800}=\dfrac{27}{80}$
