simplify -cd^-4e^-1
okay rob or jim. read my math tip notes, okay? otherwise you'll do poorly on your quizzes. :)
if you meant (-(cd)^-4) * (e^-1)
-e/((c^4)*(d^4)
or if you meant ((-cd)^-4) * (e^-1)
e/((c^4)*(d^4)
or if you meant (-c(d^-4)) * (e^-1)
-ce/(d^4)
Please specify parentheses if you ask any more.
To simplify the expression -cd^-4e^-1, we need to understand the order of operations in algebra.
1. Start with the negative sign outside the parentheses: -1.
2. Inside the parentheses, we have two variables: c and d.
3. Next, we have d raised to the power of -4. To simplify this, we can rewrite it as 1/d^4.
4. Finally, we have e raised to the power of -1, which can be rewritten as 1/e.
Combining these results, we get -c / (d^4 * e). Therefore, the simplified form of the expression -cd^-4e^-1 is -c/(d^4 * e).
