Simplify each expression. Write answers without negative exponents. Assume all variables represent nonzero real numbers. (5a-1)4(a2)-3

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Start by rewriting the expression clearly: \(\left(5a^{-1}\right)^4 \left(a^2\right)^{-3}\).
Apply the power of a power rule, which states that \((x^m)^n = x^{m \cdot n}\), to each part separately: \(5^4 \cdot (a^{-1})^4 \cdot a^{2 \cdot (-3)}\).
Simplify the exponents: \(5^4 \cdot a^{-4} \cdot a^{-6}\).
Combine the terms with the same base \(a\) by adding their exponents: \(a^{-4 + (-6)} = a^{-10}\).
Rewrite the expression without negative exponents by using the rule \(x^{-m} = \frac{1}{x^m}\), resulting in \(5^4 \cdot \frac{1}{a^{10}}\).

Laws of Exponents

The laws of exponents govern how to simplify expressions involving powers, such as multiplying powers with the same base by adding exponents, raising a power to another power by multiplying exponents, and handling negative exponents by rewriting them as reciprocals.

Negative Exponents

A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the corresponding positive exponent. For example, a⁻¹ equals 1/a. Simplifying expressions often involves rewriting negative exponents as positive by moving factors between numerator and denominator.
