Question

6f^-2g^3h^5 over 54f^-2g^-5h^3

Answer 1

are you trying to simplify it?

Answer 2

dividing monomials whatever that means

Answer 3

shania. check this site so u can learn more about the exponent properties:

Answer 4

can you type it using the equation writer

Answer 5

6 f^-2 g^3 h^5
-------------------
54 f^-2 g^-5 h^3

Answer 6

oh okay got it

Answer 7

(1/9) g^8 h^2 ??

Answer 8

if u notice the f's on the top and the bottom have the same number of exponents...so you can cancel them out

Answer 9

then 6 goes into 54 9 times so the 6 becomes 1 and the 54 becomes 9

Answer 10

yeah i noticed that i dont know all this is confusing lol i have a really bad algebra teacher he doesnt explain anything at all

Answer 11

when you post your questions; make sure you space adequately between terms at least... that way they are easier to decipher :)

Answer 12

ok lol

Answer 13

did u get the answer?

Answer 14

why do I thinkthat when you divid a variable like g/g ; they cancel out

Answer 15

the variable g doesnt cancel out

Answer 16

f does...since its the saem on the top and the bottom

Answer 17

but the g on the denominator is to the power of negative 5 so really it moves to the numerator...so the numerator becomes g^8

Answer 18

then since its h^5 on top and h^3 on bottom..its like having 5 h's on top and 3 h's on bottom so three of them cancel out...leaving you with h^2 on top

Answer 19

aweome fee back (no homo)

Answer 20

so you should get (g^8)(h^2)/9

Answer 21

i usully use decimal number like 0.11 instead of 1/9 , i got to get better wih frrctns
