Simplifying algebraic expressions

Exo 1 Simplify the following expressions with positive exponents. \((5x^{-7}y^3)^{-5}\) Solution: Step 1: Apply the exponent to each term inside the parentheses Use the property \( (ab)^n = a^n \cdot b^n \) to distribute the exponent \(-5\) to each factor: \[ (5x^{-7}y^3)^{-5} = 5^{-5} \cdot (x^{-7})^{-5} \cdot (y^3)^{-5} \] Step 2: Simplify each term \( […]
