Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression [tex](4z^8)^{-3}[/tex], to evaluate this, we will use one of the law of indices as shown;
[tex](a^m)^n = a^{mn}[/tex]
[tex]4^{-3} * z^{8*-3}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1}{4^3} * z^{-24}\\ \\= \frac{1}{64} * \frac{1}{z^{24}}\\ \\= \frac{1}{64z^{24}}[/tex]
Mario's error was that she did not raise the value of 4 to the power of -3. She only raised z^8 to the power of -3 when it is supposed to affect both 4 and z^8
