1/5(-5a^2b^3)^2(abc)^4 How do you simplify this. How does the "-5" play a role in this? how would you get 1/5 of "-5"
= 1/5[(-5)^2(a^2)^2(b^3)^2][(a^4)(b^4)(c^4)] = 1/5[25a^8b^10c^4] = 5(a^8)(b^10)(c^4) 1/5 of "-5" would be -1 but you have to do the powers (exponents) before you do the division or multiplication
