simplify using laws of exponents [(-3/5)⁴×(-3/5)²]÷(9/25)²
Answers
Answer:
For example: x² × x³, 2³ × 2⁵, (-3)² × (-3)⁴
In multiplication of exponents if the bases are same then we need to add the exponents.
Consider the following:
1. 2³ × 2² = (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2) = 23+2 = 2⁵
2. 3⁴ × 3² = (3 × 3 × 3 × 3) × (3 × 3) = 34+2 = 3⁶

Answer:
(-5/3)^4
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the law the when we have to multiply two exponent with same base but different powers we have to add the powers. So,
(-3/5)^4 and (-3/5)^2 is having same base and different powers so we will add the powers :
=4+2=6
= (-3/4)^6
Next we will have to divide
(-3/5)^6 ÷ (9/25)^6
We will find the reciprocal of (9/25) which will be (25/9)
Now we will cut 25 by 5 and 9 by (-3) which will be
(-5/3)
now we will again do the reciprocal and put the Power
(-3/5)^6
Here we again have same base but different power exponent but in division , so we will subtract the powers so, it will be
(-3/5)^6÷(-3/5)^2
= 6-2
= 4
The final answer is
(-3/5)^4
