Question

Anyone who can help would be amazing!! (-1/6x^5)(-1/5x)? I just cannot get it? the fifth power and negative signs are throwing me for a loop!

Answer 1

1/30x^6.

Answer 2

Multiply the coefficients -1/6 and -1/5 to get (-1/6)(-1/5)=1/30. This is the coefficient of the final answer.


Now add the exponents: 5+1 = 6. This is the exponent for x of the final answer.



So \[\large (-\frac{1}{6}x^5)(-\frac{1}{5}x)=\frac{1}{30}x^6\]

Answer 3

Negative times negative = positive

Multiply across. 6 * 5 = 30. x^5*x = x^6
=1/30x^6

Answer 4

Why would you all write an answer if I answered it already?
