simplify (-3ab^4)(4ab^{-3})

Solution

simplify

(- 3 a b^{4}) (4 a b^{- 3})

Solution

- 12 a^{2} b

Solution steps

(- 3 a b^{4}) (4 a b^{- 3})

Apply rule:

(- a) = - a

(- 3 a b^{4}) = - 3 a b^{4}

= - 3 a b^{4} \cdot 4 a b^{- 3}

Multiply the numbers:

- 3 \cdot 4 = - 12

= - 12 a b^{4} a b^{- 3}

Apply exponent rule:

aa = a^{2}

aa = a^{2}

= - 12 a^{2} b^{4} b^{- 3}

Simplify

b^{4} b^{- 3} : b

= - 12 a^{2} b
