Question

8a^2t^-3

Answer 1

okay, i was about to mention that grouping symbols should be used at each "level" of exponent...

i.e.

by the above expression are you saying:
8time a raised to the power 2t and 2t raised to the power of -3?

if so

write as

8a^(2t)^(-3)

Answer 2

yep thats how i meant it.

Answer 3

\[8a ^{2t}^{-3}\]

Answer 4

are you saying i should just post a question and then do what u did?

Answer 5

I was trying to use that darn equation editor....to no avail

Answer 6

\[8a ^{2t ^{-3}}\]

Answer 7

That is the expression, now what do you want to do with it?

Answer 8

simplify it.

Answer 9

Let me try to do with the editor.

\[8a ^{2/t ^{3}}\]

Answer 10

Don't know if that really simplifies it or not. Hopefully some one else will verify. Do you have the answer?

Answer 11

yes it is there. thank you.
