MHB Where Did I Go Wrong When Simplifying This Exponent Equation?
I have this problem to simplify with positive exponents: \[\left[(-4a^{-4}b^{-5})^{-3}\right]^4\] So, working with the interior brackets, I applied -3 to the equation, which resulted in: \[-(-64)x^{12}b^{15}\] **because "-4" was not in brackets, the exponent was applied to the 4 only...- PistolSlap
