i am having trouble with exponets. can u help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, what is the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have more than one problem if thats ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will tell you how to do one problem and give you the tools necessary to solve the rest of hte problems. don't expect me to solve all your problems for you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, the problem is -2b(squaredtothe3rdpower)x7b(tothe6thpower)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(-2b ^{2}) ^{3} \times 7b ^{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that it? use the equation button below to type in your equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is it, but there are no parenthesees around the -2b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need you to write it out and take a picture and attach it here or write it out using the equation button

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i dont use computers that much, what is the equation button? srry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is on the screen right where the arrow is pointing | | v

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is on the left of the post button and attach file button

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i dontn o what to do, the problem that u put in earlier, look up, the one i told u about, help me with that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-2b ^{3} \times 7b ^{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the basic rules you have to follow are : \[x ^{a} \times x ^{b} = x ^{a+b}\] \[x ^{a} \div x ^{b} = x ^{a-b}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-2b ^{3} \times 7b ^{6} = -14 (b ^{3} \times b ^{6})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, got it then what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[= -14b ^{3+6} = -14b ^{9}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

beast, that is so cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):
