Exercise 60 Page 263

To simplify the given expression, we will use the Properties of Exponents. For this exercise, we will begin by distributing the exponent to the numerator and denominator. Then we will calculate the powers. Let's do it!

(w^3/9)^2

PowQuot

(a/b)^m=a^m/b^m

(w^3)^2/9^2

PowPow

(a^m)^n=a^(m* n)

w^(3 * 2)/9^2
