Question

Marina correctly simplified the expression StartFraction negative 4 a Superscript negative 2 Baseline b Superscript 4 Baseline Over 8 a Superscript negative 6 Baseline b Superscript negative 3 Baseline EndFraction, assuming that a not-equals 0, b not-equals 0. Her simplified expression is below

Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that  x^a / x^b = x^ (a-b)

b^4 / b^ -3 = b^(4 - -3) = b^ (4+3) = b^7

The exponent for b is 7
