Bot GPT 3.5 The simplified form of −(5a)^0b^−4c^−3 can be determined by applying the rules of exponents.
First, any number or variable raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, (5a)^0 = 1.
The negative sign in front of the parentheses negates the value, so we have -1 * b^-4 * c^-3.
Next, we can use the rule that a negative exponent is the same as 1 divided by the positive exponent. So b^-4 is equivalent to 1/b^4, and c^-3 is equivalent to 1/c^3.
Therefore, the simplified form is:
-1 * 1/b^4 * 1/c^3
Which can be written as:
-1 / (b^4 * c^3)
