4^0 ⋅ 5^−2/ (−2) ^−3=

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Using the property of integer exponents that any number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1, we can simplify the expression as follows:

4^0 ⋅ 5^−2/ (−2) ^−3
= 1 ⋅ 5^−2/ (−2) ^−3

Now, using the property of negative exponents that states that any number raised to a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by that number raised to the positive exponent, we can rewrite the expression as:

= 1 ⋅ 1/5^2/1/ (1/(-2))^3

Simplifying further using the property of negative exponents:

= 1 ⋅ 1/5^2/1/(-2)^3
= 1 ⋅ 1/25/(-8)
= 1/25/(-8)
= 1/25 * (-8)
= -8/25

So, the simplified fraction with no remaining exponents is -8/25.

I apologize for the incorrect calculations in my previous response. Let's apply the properties of integer exponents correctly:

4^0 ⋅ 5^−2/ (−2) ^−3

Using the property that any number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1:

= 1 ⋅ 5^−2/ (−2) ^−3

Using the property of negative exponents that states that any number raised to a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by that number raised to the positive exponent:

= 1/(5^2) / (1/(-2))^3

Simplifying further:

= 1/25 / (-2)^3

= 1/25 / (-8)

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:

= 1/25 * (-1/8)

Simplifying the multiplication:

= -1/200

So, the simplified fraction with no remaining exponents is -1/200.

I apologize again for the incorrect calculations. Let me correct the solution.

Given expression: 4^0 ⋅ 5^-2/ (-2) ^-3

Using the property that any number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1, we have:

= 1 ⋅ 5^-2/ (-2) ^-3

Using the property of negative exponents that states that any number raised to a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by that number raised to the positive exponent:

= 1 / 5^2 / (1 / (-2))^3

Simplifying the expression:

= 1 / 5^2 / (-2)^3

= 1 / 25 / (-8)

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:

= 1 / 25 * (-1 / 8)

Simplifying the multiplication:

= -1 / (25 * 8)

= -1 / 200

So, the simplified fraction with no remaining exponents is -1 / 200.

I apologize for the confusion. Let's go through the question again and apply the properties of integer exponents correctly.

Given expression: 4^0 ⋅ 5^-2/ (-2) ^-3

Using the property that any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1:

= 1 ⋅ 5^-2/ (-2) ^-3

Using the property of negative exponents that states that any number raised to a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by that number raised to the positive exponent:

= 1/5^2 / (1/(-2))^3

Simplifying the exponents:

= 1/5^2 / (-2)^3

= 1/25 / (-8)

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:

= 1/25 * (-1/8)

Simplifying the multiplication:

= -1/200

So, the equivalent expression to 4^0 ⋅ 5^-2/ (-2) ^-3 with only positive exponents is -1/200.

Answer 9

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Apologies for the confusion in my previous responses. Let's attempt to solve the expression correctly.

Given expression: 4^0 ⋅ 5^-2/ (-2) ^-3

Using the property that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1:

= 1 ⋅ 5^-2/ (-2) ^-3

Using the property of negative exponents that states that any number raised to a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by that number raised to the positive exponent:

= 1 / 5^2 / (1/(-2))^3

Simplifying the exponents:

= 1/25 / (1/(-2))^3

Using the property of exponentiation with negative numbers:

= 1/25 / (-2)^3

Evaluating the power of (-2)^3:

= 1/25 / (-8)

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:

= 1/25 * (-1/8)

Simplifying the multiplication:

= -1/200

So, the equivalent expression to 4^0 ⋅ 5^-2/ (-2) ^-3 with only positive exponents is -1/200.

Therefore, the solution is -1/200.
