(3x^3)(2/3x^-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that is what I got, but there is an answer in the back of the book and it says 12x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe it's a typo?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3 x 2/3) X^3-2 2X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I am assuming the book has a typo! Thank You!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

false. the -2 in the denominator turns into a +2 in the numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X^a x X^b =X^a+b a= 3 and b = -2 so X^3+(-2) X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not X^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

except you're not multiplying, you're dividing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh, nvm, i'm sorry, i was reading the question wrong, i thought the x was in the denominator as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeayyyyyy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
