.(1 point)

1 answer

To simplify the expression 413 ÷ 3^-5, we can apply the quotient rule of exponents, which states that when dividing two numbers with the same base, we subtract their exponents.

In this case, the base is 3. Therefore, we subtract the exponents:

413 ÷ 3^-5 = 4^(13-(-5)) = 4^18
