OpenStudy (anonymous):

The negative exponents can be brought to the numerator simply by changing the negative sign to positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try doing that first see what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep I've done that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should get E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me step by step of how you solved that? I still got a completely different answer :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when dividing similar terms raised to eponents, subtrct the exponents in the denom from the exponents in the numerator. so\[2p ^{8}q ^{8}\div p ^{-2}q ^{-2}\] goes to\[2p ^{3-(-2)}q ^{8-(-2)}=2p ^{5}q ^{10}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \frac{2p^3q^8}{p^{-2}q^{-2}} = 2p^5q^{10}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you do it from here, Genuine?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you raise an exponent to an exponent you MULTIPLY the exponents so \[(p ^{4}/2q ^{3})^{2}\] goes to \[(p ^{4*2}/4q ^{3*2})=P ^{8}/Q ^{^{6}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[32p ^{7}q ^{10}\div4q ^{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, it's P^8/4q^6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it p^8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4*2 = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

genuine, which part are you not understanding?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH. The question was typed wrong! ==" I see now, but thank you for helping me guys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
