I've tried to solve these two problems over 20 times now and I cannot figure out my mistake. I'm not one to just ask my homework questions on line because I'm lazy - I tried for these, I swear!

1) (8a^-6)^-2/3

2) (9n^-5)^-3/2

I know that the answer to 1 is supposed to be (a^4)/4. I've gotten the answer 4/(a^4) but do not see which inverse I am messing up to get to the real answer.

Thanks for your time, Nathan S.

I need to know what percentage of people in jail (national statistic) are there for charges or crimes relating to drugs. Please include a source, first answer with a valid source will get best answer!

Thanks, Nathan S.

For extra credit in my health class, our teacher wants us to find 5 hip-hop/rap (no R&B) songs that are positive to relationships and love. That means no songs that talks about women as "hoe's" or anything that puts them down.

My friends were talking about songs by Will Smith being positive, I really am not sure.

If you could send me some links to the lyrics of some songs that fit this criteria, I will vote you best answer.

The only song that I have as a possible yes that fits what I am looking for it is Salt n Peppa's "Let's Talk about Sex." I am not sure if that has some inner meaning that is negative, if you knew, that would be an awesome thing to share as well.

Thanks much for your time, Nathan S.
