Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we must simplify the expression ((7×6)5)3\left(\left(7 \times 6\right)^{-5}\right)^3.

We'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Apply the power of a power rule.
  • Step 2: Simplify the expression into a single exponent.
  • Step 3: Convert the negative exponent to a fraction form.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The expression (7×6)5\left(7 \times 6\right)^{-5} is raised to the power 3. By the power of a power rule, we multiply the exponents:

((7×6)5)3=(7×6)5×3=(7×6)15 \left((7 \times 6)^{-5}\right)^3 = (7 \times 6)^{-5 \times 3} = (7 \times 6)^{-15}

Step 2: This simplifies the expression to (7×6)15(7 \times 6)^{-15}.

Step 3: Since we have a negative exponent, we convert it to a fraction:

(7×6)15=1(7×6)15 (7 \times 6)^{-15} = \frac{1}{(7 \times 6)^{15}}

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

1(7×6)15 \frac{1}{\left(7 \times 6\right)^{15}}

Comparing this result with the given choices, the correct answer is:

- Choice 3: 1(7×6)15 \frac{1}{\left(7 \times 6\right)^{15}}

The other choices are incorrect because they either have the wrong exponent or incorrectly handle the negative exponent.

Thus, the correct answer to the problem is 1(7×6)15 \frac{1}{\left(7 \times 6\right)^{15}} .

Answer

1(7×6)15 \frac{1}{\left(7\times6\right)^{15}}
