Question

What is (-7)^3 / (-7)^4 simplified? Can you walk me through the steps?

Answer 1

Answer:

(-7)∧-1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7)^3 / (-7)^4  

taking each and simplifing it

-7³ = -7 x -7 x -7

(-7)∧4 = -7 x -7 x -7 x -7

(-7)^3 / (-7)^4  = (-7 x -7 x -7 ) / ( -7 x -7 x -7 x -7) = 1/-7

1/-7 ( 1/ means raise to power -1)

1/-7 = (-7)∧-1
