Solution
`((-1)/4)^3 xx ((-1)/4)^bb(underline(8)) = ((-1)/4)^11`
Explanation:
Let `((-1)/4)^3 xx ((-1)/4)^x = ((-1)/4)^11`
⇒ `((-1)/4)^x = ((-1)/4)^11/((-1)/4)^3`
⇒ `((-1)/4)^x = ((-1)/4)^(11 - 3)` ...[∵ am ÷ an = am – n, m > n]
⇒ `((-1)/4)^x = ((-1)/4)^8`
Since, base are equal.
So, by equating the powers, we get
x = 8
∴ `((-1)/4)^3 xx ((-1)/4)^8 = ((-1)/4)^11`
