Q. Select the equivalent expression.(r4r−7)1133r1r313rr3
Simplify Exponents: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses by using the properties of exponents.When dividing like bases, subtract the exponents.(r(−7))/(r(4))=r(−7−4)=r(−11)
Apply Outer Exponent: Apply the outer exponent to the simplified base.Now we have (r−11)(3)/(11).When raising a power to a power, multiply the exponents.(r−11)(3)/(11)=r−11×(3)/(11)=r−3
Rewrite Negative Exponent: Rewrite the negative exponent as a reciprocal.A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive of that exponent.r−3=r31
Compare with Options: Compare the result with the given options.The expression r31 matches one of the given options.
