anyone willing me to tutor me for my test tomorrow?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

Math exam consist of these topics Motion problems:R*T=D Multiply monomial Divide monomials Negative and zero exponents : defining a polynomial by number of temrs and degree when in standard from

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

Just for today :)

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

soooooo?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

can you help me?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

It's really best just to ask the questions, I don't know how many of them I can stick around for. Whaddya got?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

well simply I don't have a question I just want to see what I need to work on.?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

by someone writing me questions

OpenStudy (turingtest):

not really sure what you need can you simplify\[(-2x)^{-3}\]that's a start...

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

ok

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

1/(-2x)^3=-1/8x^3

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

I kind of struggle

OpenStudy (turingtest):

assuming you mean-1/(8x^3) you're correct be sure to use parentheses

OpenStudy (turingtest):

you meant \[{-1\over8x^3}\]right?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

yes

OpenStudy (turingtest):

good, then you have no problem there

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

kind of have?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

like how? you got the correct answer. how about simplifying\[(3x^3)(2x)^{-4}\]?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

ok let me

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

3x*2x=6x

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

1/6x^1

OpenStudy (turingtest):

not quite, first simplify \[(2x)^{-4}\]you cant multiply what is inside the parentheses until you have gotten rid of the exponents outside of them

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

1/2x^4

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

right?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

no, you forgot this rule:\[(ab)^x=a^xb^x\]you neglected the 2, try again...

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

x^4

OpenStudy (turingtest):

no watch:\[(2x)^{-4}={1\over(2x)^4}={1\over2^4x^4}={1\over16x^4}\]follow that?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

we applied two rules above:\[(ab)^x=a^xb^x\]and\[x^{-a}={1\over x^a}\]
