Answer 1

To apply the properties of integer exponents, we can use the following rules:

1. (a^m)^(n) = a^(m*n)
2. a^(-n) = 1/a^n
3. a^m/a^n = a^(m-n)
4. a^m * b^m = (a*b)^m

Now, let's simplify the expression step by step:

(7^(-3))^7 * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Using rule 1: (7^(-3))^7 = 7^(-3*7) = 7^(-21)

So, the expression becomes: 7^(-21) * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Using rule 3: 7^(-21) * 7^20 = 7^(-21+20) = 7^(-1)

So, the expression becomes: 7^(-1) / 6^(-2)

Using rule 2: 7^(-1) = 1/7^1 = 1/7

So, the expression becomes: 1/7 / 6^(-2)

Using rule 2 again: 6^(-2) = 1/6^2 = 1/36

So, the expression becomes: 1/7 / 1/36

Using rule 3: 1/7 / 1/36 = 1/7 * 36/1

Simplifying, the expression becomes: 36/7

Therefore, the answer is 36/7 as an improper fraction.

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect response.

Let's reassess the expression and apply the properties of integer exponents correctly.

Given expression: (7^(-3))^7 * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

First, let's simplify (7^(-3))^7 using the property (a^m)^n = a^(m*n):
(7^(-3))^7 = 7^(-3*7) = 7^(-21)

Now, the expression becomes: 7^(-21) * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Next, let's simplify 7^(-21) using the property a^(-n) = 1/a^n:
7^(-21) = 1/7^21

The expression now becomes: 1/7^21 * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Using the property a/b * c/d = (a*c)/(b*d), let's combine the terms with the same bases:
(1/7^21 * 7^20) / 6^(-2) = (1/7^21 * 7^20) * 6^2

Now, let's simplify the expression using the property a^m * a^n = a^(m+n):
(1/7^21 * 7^20) * 6^2 = 1/7^1 * 6^2 = 6^2 / 7

Finally, we can solve for 6^2 / 7:
6^2 = 6*6 = 36
36 / 7 = 5 remainder 1

Therefore, the expression simplifies to 5 1/7 as an improper fraction.

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion. Let's simplify the expression correctly:

Given expression: (7^(-3))^7 * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

First, let's simplify (7^(-3))^7 using the property (a^m)^n = a^(m*n):
(7^(-3))^7 = 7^(-3*7) = 7^(-21)

Now, the expression becomes: 7^(-21) * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Next, let's simplify 7^(-21) using the property a^(-n) = 1/a^n:
7^(-21) = 1/7^21

The expression now becomes: 1/7^21 * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Using the property a/b * c/d = (a*c)/(b*d), let's combine the terms with the same bases:
(1/7^21 * 7^20) * 6^2 = 1/7^1 * 6^2 = 6^2 / 7

Finally, we can solve for 6^2 / 7:
6^2 = 6*6 = 36
36 / 7 = 5 remainder 1

Therefore, the expression simplifies to 5 1/7 as an improper fraction.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Apologies for the confusion.

Let's simplify the expression correctly:

Given expression: (7^(-3))^7 * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

First, let's simplify (7^(-3))^7 using the property (a^m)^n = a^(m*n):
(7^(-3))^7 = 7^((-3) * 7) = 7^(-21)

Now, the expression becomes: 7^(-21) * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Next, let's simplify 7^(-21) using the property a^(-n) = 1/a^n:
7^(-21) = 1/7^21

The expression now becomes: 1/7^21 * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Using the property a/b * c/d = (a*c)/(b*d), let's combine the terms with the same bases:
(1/7^21 * 7^20) * 6^2 = 1/7^21 * 7^20 * 6^2

Now, let's simplify the expression using the property a^m * a^n = a^(m+n):
1/7^21 * 7^20 * 6^2 = 7^(20-21) * 6^2

7^(20-21) = 7^(-1), which is equivalent to 1/7.

Therefore, the expression simplifies to 1/7 * 6^2.

Simplifying further, 6^2 = 36.

Therefore, the expression simplifies to 1/7 * 36 = 36/7.

So, the answer is 36/7 as an improper fraction.

try using positive exponents

Answer 9

Apologies for the previous incorrect responses.

Let's simplify the expression using positive exponents:

Given expression: (7^(-3))^7 * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Using the property (a^m)^n = a^(m*n), we can simplify (7^(-3))^7 to 7^(-3*7) = 7^(-21).

Now, the expression becomes: 7^(-21) * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Using the property a^(-n) = 1/a^n, we can simplify 7^(-21) to 1/7^21.

The expression now becomes: 1/7^21 * 7^20 / 6^(-2)

Using the property a/b * c/d = (a*c)/(b*d), let's combine the terms with the same bases:

1/7^21 * 7^20 * 6^(-2) = 1 / (7^21 * 6^2)

Now, let's simplify 7^21 * 6^2:

7^21 = (7^3)^7 = 343^7
6^2 = 36

Therefore, the expression simplifies to: 1 / (343^7 * 36)

To solve the expression, we can write 343 as 7^3:

1 / (7^3)^7 * 36 = 1 / 7^(3*7) * 36 = 1 / 7^21 * 36

So, the answer is: 36 / 7^21 as an improper fraction.
