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

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 \[(p ^{4*2}/4q ^{3*2})=P ^{8}/Q ^{^{6}}\]

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