Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No 24 is not the best number to use for the LCD, although it will work. 12 is much better because it is smaller.

Factor each number into it's primes.

24 =<u> 2*2*2</u>*3

32 = <u>2*2*2</u>*2*2

The highest common factor is 2*2*2 = 8

9/10 - 3/10 = 6/10 The denominator remains the same. The numerators get subtracted.

6/10 = 3/5 Two goes into both numerator and denominator of the answer. Therefore you can divide both 6 an 10 by 2

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

1024

so first you would do 2^10 and 2^20

2^10 = 1024

2^20 = 1048576

then you would just divide 1048576 by 1024

1048576 / 1024 = 1024

Which expression is equivalent to (a^-3 b/a^-5 b3)^-3? Assume a=0, b=0.

prohojiy [21]

$Use:\\\\\dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\\\(ab)^n=a^nb^n$

$\left(\dfrac{a^{-3}b}{a^{-5}b^3}\right)^{-3}=\left(a^{-3-(-5)}b^{1-3}\right)^{-3}=\left(a^{-3+5}b^{-2}\right)^{-3}=\left(a^2b^{-2}\right)^{-3}\\\\=(a^2)^{-3}(b^{-2})^{-3}=a^{2(-3)}b^{-2(-3)}=a^{-6}b^6=\dfrac{b^6}{a^6}$
