Simplify the following expressions with positive exponents.
\((5x^{-7}y^3)^{-5}\)
Exo 1 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:
\[
(5x^{-7}y^3)^{-5} = 5^{-5} \cdot (x^{-7})^{-5} \cdot (y^3)^{-5}
\]
