Question

solve the following question

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[(-2)³x(-2)⁷]/4⁶=[(-2)³⁺⁷]/4⁶

                     =(-2¹⁰)/4⁶

                     =2¹⁰/4⁶   (negative can be neglected as the power of 2 is even)

                     =2¹⁰/(2²)⁶

                      =2¹⁰/2¹²

                      =2¹⁰⁻¹²

                      =2⁻²

                      =2²            (given to neglect the negative of the power)

                       =4
