Respuesta :
Well, if a = -1 and b = 4 then when we plug in the values of a and b into the expression we get:
[tex]13(-1)^{-3}\cdot4^{-1}[/tex].
Then simplify it:
[tex]-13\cdot1/4=-\frac{13}{4}[/tex].
The answer is A.
Hope this helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Substitute -1 for a and 4 for b
[tex]13 * (-1)^-^3 * (4)^-^1[/tex]
[tex]13 * (-1) * \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{13}{4}[/tex]
Answer: Option A, [tex]-\frac{13}{4}[/tex]
