Step 1: Start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses. Combine the exponents of x using the property of exponents: a^m * a^n = a^(m+n). Here, x^(-5/4) * x^(-3/4) becomes x^(-5/4 - 3/4).
Step 2: Simplify the exponent of x. Add the fractions in the exponent: -5/4 - 3/4 = -8/4 = -2. So, the expression inside the parentheses becomes x^(-2) * y^(1/3).
Step 3: Apply the outer exponent of -6 to each term inside the parentheses using the property (a * b)^m = a^m * b^m. This gives (x^(-2))^(-6) * (y^(1/3))^(-6).
Step 4: Simplify each term by multiplying the exponents. For x^(-2)^(-6), multiply -2 and -6 to get x^(12). For y^(1/3)^(-6), multiply 1/3 and -6 to get y^(-2).
Step 5: Combine the simplified terms. The final expression is x^(12) * y^(-2). If needed, rewrite y^(-2) as 1/y^2 to express the result without negative exponents.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Exponents and Negative Exponents

Exponents represent repeated multiplication of a base number. A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the absolute value of the exponent. For example, x^(-a) = 1/(x^a). Understanding how to manipulate negative exponents is crucial for simplifying expressions involving them.

Fractional Exponents

Fractional exponents indicate both a power and a root. For instance, x^(m/n) means the n-th root of x raised to the m-th power. This concept is essential for simplifying expressions that involve roots and powers simultaneously, allowing for a clearer understanding of the relationships between different terms.
