Asked by Lorraine
Exponential Functions:
How do I work out something like (2u^3 v^-1)^-4 ? It’s really confusing for me, and I have a test tomorrow, but not even my teacher can help me understand. Please help!
(The ^ means exponent)

the exponent outside the parentheses gets "distributed" over every quantity inside
in this case ... 2^-4 * u^-12 * v^4 ... v^4 / (16 u^12)
in this case ... 2^-4 * u^-12 * v^4 ... v^4 / (16 u^12)
