Question

(-6) to the 5th power multiplied by (-6) to the 7th power. I need the answer

Answer 1

Since we have the same base (which is -6) -> (-6)^5*(-6)^7 = (-6)^12 = 6^12. This is 2176782336, but I can't imagine that number is that useful...

Answer 2

Nope. i don't think that is the right answer, but thank you

Answer 3

I got the same as her. 2176782336

Answer 4

\[(-6)^{5}*(-6)^{7}=(-7776)*(-279936)=2176782336\]
