write with positive exponents 125^-5/3
Do you know what 5^-1 means?
1/3125
really?
YEas!
exponent of negative five -thirds?
Lol, im srs.
thanx man!!!
Uw man!
Ah, yeah, nevermind. But now unfortunately, j32 won't know how to do it. But at this point, I've stopped caring about those folks.
Lol.
Although, the funny thing is, when he plugs the answer in, he's still going to get it wrong. Heh.
lol, No i dont agree. its correct.
why would it be wrong?
Really, eh? We'll see then. Go ahead and plug in your answer. Tell me whether your homework site says you got it correct.
Did it mark you wrong? :p
lol, it wont mark it wrong.
It will. That's why I'm telling him to do it. If he had actually bothered to try what I told him to, I would have helped him get to the right answer.
but still, its correct.
Except... it's not.
I got it correct, and I checked my book to double check. I was just pressed for time and I couldn't remember whether the numerator or denominator went with radicand. I'm glad saifoo still cares!
Saifoo is the man, don't question him son!
lolz. Then something is wrong with the book: because if the question says "rewrite with positive exponents", the answer would be 1/(x^[5/3]) The answer he gave you had no exponents.
You always have to simplify everything in this class.
That's going against the directions, then. lol It's like saying, "Write this in square root form: square root of 10" and putting down 3.16
anyways, have a good night guys!
125^-5/3 1/125^5/3
Just a little note: Be sure to put your exponents in parentheses. While we know what you mean, a calculator would think you're saying to do \[\frac{1}{125^5}/3\]
