Question

(6x)^6/(6x)^18 divide and simplify

Answer 1

a^m/a^n=a^m-n

Answer 2

(6x)^6/(6x)^18

cancel out 6 (6x)'s from the top against the bottom to get
1/(6x)^12

Answer 3

would 1/6x^3 be a right answer?

Answer 4

i got that answer but i dont know if it is right

Answer 5

that would be wrong, @lance has the answer

Answer 6

ok so it is 1/6x^12?

Answer 7

or could i write it as 6x^12

Answer 8

you can write it as 6^-12

Answer 9

i knw with this math if it aint in the way they want it, it is wrong so its like you have different ways to write it but you have to take a chance on which one they are gonna accept lol

Answer 10

well, ususally they alwasy ask write with positive exponents , which would make the answer
1/(6x)^12, if they as for negative exponents write it as (6x)^-12

Answer 11

yea it says positive. i just get confused on all of it. so it would be the first one

Answer 12

yes it would

Answer 13

thanks.

Answer 14

anytime

Answer 15

It helps to think of something like (6x)^3 as:
6x * 6x * 6x

so (6x)^3/(6x)^4 equals:
(6x * 6x * 6x) / ( 6x * 6x * 6x * 6x)
Then it's easy to see how they cancel out.
