Tanisha and Neal are simplifying the same expression (StartFraction (x Superscript 4 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 5 Baseline) Over 3 (x squared) (y Superscript negative 3 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript 4. Tanisha’s Work
Neal’s Work
(StartFraction (x Superscript 4 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 5 Baseline) Over 3 (x squared) (y Superscript negative 3 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript 4 = (StartFraction (x squared) (y Superscript negative 2 Baseline) Over 3 EndFraction) Superscript 4
(StartFraction (x Superscript 4 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 5 Baseline) Over 3 (x squared) (y Superscript negative 3 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript 4 = StartFraction (x Superscript 16 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 20 Baseline) Over (3 Superscript 4 Baseline (x Superscript 8 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 12 Baseline) EndFraction
