The simplified form of the expressions

a.-3xyz4=81x4y4z4b.-7mn0=1c.-3x3-2=19x6d.2y-52=4y10

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

The given expression is (-3xyz)4.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Calculation of expression: 

In calculation of expression we use concept of product of power-

(ab)n = an bn

So,

(-3xyz)4 = 81x4y4z4.

03

Part (b) Sep 1. Given information. 

The given expression is (-7mn)0.

04

Part (b) Step 2. Calculation of expression. 

Calculate the expression by anything raised to zero is always 1.

So,

(-7mn)0= 1.

05

Part (c) Step 1. Given information.

The given expression is (-3x3)-2.

06

Part (c) Step 2. Calculation of expression.

Calculate the expression by negative exponent and product of power.

product of power-

(ab)n = an bn

product of negative exponent-

(ab)-n = 1/(ab)n

We get,

(-3x3)-2 = 1(-3x3)2

=19x6

07

Part (d) Step 1. Given information.

The given expression is (2y-5)2.

08

Part (d) Step 2. Calculate the expression.

Apply the concept of power product-

(ab)n = an bn

So,

(2y-5)2 = 4y-10

=4y10
