:o HUH?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you rewrite negative exponents as fractions... that is the answer as a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oookkk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/6^49 =6^-49 =1/134713546244127343440523266742756048896

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 6^-49 IS THE answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the answer but its not approximate. In fact the real approximation is a decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the fraction i gave you is the exact result

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats just confusing. all it says is to simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well know if someone ask you what 6^-49 is you can tell them =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it says to Type exponential notation with positive exponents.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well then 6^-49 in positive exponents is \[1\over6^{49}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now that makes more sence to me
