Math Problem Statement

Simplify the mathematical expression from the image: (3/4)^(-4) * 0.09^(-0.5) - 7.5 * 4^(5/3) * (-2)^(-4)

Solution

The expression from the image you've uploaded appears to be the following:

(34)40.090.57.5453(2)4\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{-4} \cdot 0.09^{-0.5} - 7.5 \cdot 4^{\frac{5}{3}} \cdot (-2)^{-4}

Let me break this down step-by-step and compute the value.

Terms in the expression:

  1. (34)4\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{-4}
  2. 0.090.50.09^{-0.5}
  3. 7.54537.5 \cdot 4^{\frac{5}{3}}
  4. (2)4(-2)^{-4}

I'll solve each of these components and provide the final result. Let's start with the calculations.The result of the expression

(34)40.090.57.5453(2)4\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{-4} \cdot 0.09^{-0.5} - 7.5 \cdot 4^{\frac{5}{3}} \cdot (-2)^{-4}

is approximately 5.81.

Would you like further explanation on any part of the solution?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:

  1. How do fractional exponents affect numbers?
  2. What is the significance of negative exponents in expressions?
  3. Can you explain how to simplify powers of fractions like (34)4\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{-4}?
  4. How do you calculate fractional powers like 4534^{\frac{5}{3}}?
  5. Why does (2)4(-2)^{-4} give a positive result?

Tip: When dealing with negative exponents, think of them as reciprocals. For example, xn=1xnx^{-n} = \frac{1}{x^n}.
