Read each question carefully and simplify the expressions using the properties of exponents. Show all your work.
Simplify each expression. Your answer should contain only positive exponents.
1. (2x³y⁻²)³
2. (4a⁴b²)/(2a²b⁻³)
3. (3m⁻²n⁴) * (2m⁵n⁻¹)
Complete the statements below using the correct exponential property or simplified expression.
1. When multiplying exponents with the same base, you the powers. For example, xᵃ * xᵇ = .
2. When dividing exponents with the same base, you the powers. For example, xᵃ / xᵇ = .
3. A negative exponent indicates the of the base. For example, x⁻ⁿ = .
