Simplify the expression using the properties of exponents. Expand any numerical portion of your answer and only include positive exponents. (2x3y−1y3)^2
Added by Kierra M.
Step 1
In this case, our expression becomes: (2x^3y^(-1)y^3)^2 = (2^2)(x^3)^2(y^(-1))^2(y^3)^2 Now, we'll apply the power of a power property, which states that (a^n)^m = a^(n*m). Our expression becomes: (2^2)(x^3)^2(y^(-1))^2(y^3)^2 = 4x^(3*2)y^(-1*2)y^(3*2) Now, Show more…
