Answer 1

Okay since they all have the same base the multiplication power rule states that you cann add or subtract all the exponents

Answer 2

So y don't u try that

Answer 3

Lets do the first equation
-3+5-2+2=2
So the answer to the first one is p^2

Answer 4

Did u get that?

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

ok so try the second equation do it on ur own and I will tellu if it is correct

Answer 7

What happenned

Answer 8

ok

Answer 10

the second one i got 5?

Answer 11

or unless i'm doing some wrong

Answer 12

*something

Answer 13

-9+0+2+5=-2

Answer 14

So it is p^(-2)

Answer 15

This equation is the incorrect one since it does not equal p^(2)

Answer 16

Did u get what I did

Answer 17

yeah i got it i C =2 & D=2 also (:
so B is incorrect

thanks! (:

Answer 18

Yup. I hope you understood
