hi i need help with this equation problem 8u5v -1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

need help solving ot typing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no ineed a math problem help

OpenStudy (amistre64):

can you retype the question then; this makes no sense to me..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

8u5v -1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8u5v-1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

as is; this is just an expression... there is nothing to solve. What is it you need to do with it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need to simplify only positive exponents

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[8u5v^{-1}\] is this your problem then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but the 5 is smaller

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[8u^{5v^{-1}}\] like this then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the v is big

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[8u^5 v^{-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol... when you wanna type this on the keyboard so others can actually read it; do it like this: 8u^5 v^-1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the answer tho is this: \[\frac{8u^5}{v}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thank you

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a negative exponent mean you flip it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

canyou explain?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i can try: take for example... (2/5)^-4 since the exponent is negative we flip the fraction like this: (5/2)^4 and another example: 7^-2 we flip it over like this (1/7)^2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a negative exponent tells us that it is the reciprocal or inverse of the number its attached to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (radar):

Mine is above the 6 key
