Work it out for yourself and you'll feel much better for it.
So, I did a maths test today. The professor allowed us to take the tasks home so I decided to upload them here since we're not getting the test untill Tuesday.If you could calulate these and give me the results so I can know what I'm on...
Task #1: Calculate:
a) (-2mbn)4
b) a-2+a-3 ; if a=2
Task #2: Divide on factors:
a) a4b2-c2
Task #3: Shorten the fraction:
a3 - b3___
a2+ab+b2
Task #4: Calculate:
(the underline is the main fraction since it has double fractions)
x/a - x/2a____
x2/a2 - x2/2a2

(-2^m b^n )^4=((-1)⋅2^m⋅b^n )^4=(-1)^4 (2^m )^4 (b^n )^4=2^4m b^4n=16^m b^4n
a^(-2)+a^(-3)=a⋅a^(-3)+1⋅a^(-3)=(a+1) a^(-3)=(2+1)/2^3 =3/8
a^4 b^2-c^2=(a^2 b)^2-c^2=(a^2 b-c)(a^2 b+c)
(a^3-b^3)/(a^2+ab+b^2 )=((a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2))/(a^2+ab+b^2 )=a-b
(x/a-x/2a)/(x^2/a^2 -x^2/(2a^2 ))=(x/2a)/(x^2/(2a^2 ))=(2a^2 x)/(2ax^2 )=a/x
Or with le substitution (most likely what the prof wanted):
(x/a-x/2a)/(x^2/a^2 -x^2/(2a^2 ))=(l-l/2)/(l^2-l^2/2),l=x/a
((l-l/2)⋅2)/((l^2-l^2/2)⋅2)=(2l-l)/(2l^2-l^2 )=l/l^2 =1/l=a/x

This exam is not hard at all, you just need to practice your laws of exponents as well as a few rules pertaining to polynomial functions. Alen made solving the second one look harder than it needed to be. When you see something raised to a negative power you must put it on the opposite side of the fraction so in this case if you have all whole numbers over an a 1 ie. 2/1, 3/1, etc. then when a negative exponent comes into play you just flip the fraction ie (2^-2)/1 goes to 1/(2^2) which you then just solve simply as 1/4.

@Alen the second one where your result was 3/8, couldn't I just went with:
a-2+a-3 ; if a=2
2-2 + 2-3=
4 + (-8)= -4?

@Alen
So dead...
Another question...
Shouldn't the tast go like this?
x/a - x/2a
x2/a2 - x2/2a2=
2x-x/2a
2x2-x2/2a2=
x/2a
x2/2a2=
2a2x/2ax2=
2a/x
