Answer

$\frac{125}{8c^{12}}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(\frac{2c^{4}}{5})^{-3}$ Use $(\frac{a}{b})^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}$. $=\frac{(2c^{4})^{-3}}{(5)^{-3}}$ Use $\frac{1}{a^n}=a^{-n}$. $=\frac{(5)^{3}}{(2c^{4})^{3}}$ Use $(ab)^n=a^nb^n$. $=\frac{5^{3}}{2^3(c^{4})^{3}}$ Use $(a^n)^m=a^{nm}$. $=\frac{5^{3}}{2^3c^{4\cdot 3}}$ Simplify. $=\frac{125}{8c^{12}}$
