64

1/64

1•4^-3

1 answer

To simplify the expression using the properties of integer exponents, we can follow these steps:

First, we apply the power of a product rule, which states that (ab)^n = a^n * b^n. In this case, we have (15^-3 • 4^7)^0, so we can apply the rule to the two bases:
(15^-3)^0 • (4^7)^0

Next, we apply the power of zero rule, which states that any number (except 0) raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, we have:
1 • 1

Finally, we can simplify the expression to just:
1

Therefore, the equivalent expression, generated by applying the properties of integer exponents, is 1.
