please help me confirm my answer because I am bad at math! so I have the problem (-1/2x^5)(-1/9x) and I got the answer of 2/9x^6, is this correct?

Question

anonymous · Answer

should be 1/18x^6

anonymous · Answer

no its suppose to be 1/8 x^6

anonymous · Answer

man I suck at this, do either or both of you mind showing me your work so that I can know how you got the answer?

anonymous · Answer

reason is because you simply multiply common factors together in this case just multiply 
-1/2 * -1/9 = 1/18
other common: 
x^5 * x = x^6

anonymous · Answer

multiply the numerators (-1) * (-1) = 1
then the denominators (2x^5)(9x) = 18x^6

anonymous · Answer

oh I thought I had to have the same denomitor to multiply, so that's where I went wrong, thanks!

anonymous · Answer

denominator I mean

anonymous · Answer

Nope that's for addition.
