Please help!
Can someone write out an explanation for how to simplify:
[tex](4x^{-4} )^{-3}[/tex]

I'm having trouble understanding it so a step by step would be helpful!

Respuesta :

First, express x^-4 with a positive exponent. You can do this by putting it in the denominator of a fraction.
(4 • 1/x^4)^-3
Next, multiply the terms in the parentheses.
(4/x^4)^-3
Express ^-3 as a positive exponent by finding the reciprocal of the fraction inside the parenthesis.
(x^4/4)^3
Then, distribute the power into the parentheses. (Numerator and denominator)
x^12/64

Hope this helps!
