Question

Choose the correct simplification of the expression. 4 / y to the -3 power.

Answer 1

\[\Large \frac{4}{y^{-3}} \ \ ??\]

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Note \[\huge x^{-m}= \frac{1}{x^m}\]

Answer 4

I don't get that.

Answer 5

I'll give you an example

Answer 6

Oh, so my equation/expression would actually be, 4 / -3?

Answer 7

Oh, okay. (:

Answer 8

\[\Large x^{-2}= \frac{1}{x^2}\]

Answer 9

\[\Large x^{-6} = \frac{1}{x^6}\]

Answer 10

got that ?

Answer 11

x = 1, which makes the 1. Then you take ou tht e - sign and re write as div. prob?

Answer 12

i didn't understand your question

Answer 13

brb

Answer 14

Back

Answer 15

Hi. I understand your examples. a little.

Answer 16

when the variable is raised to negative power of a number ,it becomes 1/(variable)raised to positive power of that number

Answer 17

I see.

Answer 18

Ok so
\[\huge \frac{4}{y^{-3}}=\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{y^3}}= 4 \times \frac{y^3}{1}= 4y^3\]

do you understand this ?

Answer 19

All I NOTICE. Is that you took the negative out of the exponent.

Answer 20

when u take negative out of y^-3 ..it'll become 1/y^3

(same way as i did the examples)

Answer 21

I see.

Answer 22

so got it ?

Answer 23

\[4y^{2}\]

Answer 24

not squared, cubed. \[4y^{3}\]

Answer 25

yeah its cubed

Answer 26

So am right?

Answer 27

The answer is, 4y^3?

Answer 28

Yes!

Answer 29

I have one more.. it's more difficult though

Answer 30

You want me to post it here or for everyone to see incase you don't understand?

Answer 31

post here its ok ..if i don't know i'll tell you

Answer 32

Show the expanded form and simplification of \[x^{4} DIVIDED BY x^{2} Explain \in your own words how you can simplify.\]

Answer 33

Explain in your own words how you can simplify.

Answer 34

\[\Large \frac{x^4}{x^2}\]
Is that your question ?

Answer 35

Yes. How do you get the division bar below x4?

Answer 36

\frac{numerator}{denominator}<<< in the equation box

Answer 37

\[\frac{x^{4}}{x^{2}} \]

Answer 38

this is the same way how you did the previous problem .. forgot ?

Answer 39

\[\Large \frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}\]

Answer 40

\[\large\frac{x^{4}}{x^{2}}\] No, well yeah. I'm not that intelligen with remembering fractions nor am I with Algebra in general. :/ Sorry if I'm being a bother by being dumb. :/

Answer 41

Lol Don't Worry no problem at all :D

Answer 42

Alright. :D

Answer 43

Remember this \[\Large \frac{x^m}{x^n}= x^{m-n}\]

Answer 44

The answer would be \[x^{2}\] wouldn't it..?

Answer 45

Yes,You got it Right!! :) \[\Large x^2 \]

Answer 46

:)
only problem is that I have to explain it, in nothing but words. I can work it out, but she doesn't want that. She wants it written.

Answer 47

Explain in your own words how you can simplify without having to write the expanded form.

Answer 48

Oh ,I don't think i can give you a *presentable* good explaination :( Sorry

Answer 49

Doesn't have to be *presentable* just an explanation of how I would work it out with writing it in the expanded form.

Answer 50

let me see if i can get someone else to help you ..just a minute
@lgbasallote Can you explain ?

Answer 51

@Mimi_x3 Can you :P >?

Answer 52

I feel like an idiot. Honestly.

Answer 53

@Callisto

Answer 54

Hello Callisto

Answer 55

Well... Just write by exponent law, x^m / x^n = x^(m-n)
So, in this case, x^4 / x^2 = x^(4-2) = x^2

Answer 56

Thank you.

Answer 57

Wait.
Part 2. .. :/
Create your own fraction with like bases, coefficients, and show its simplification.

Answer 58

@careless850 post it as new question this is lagging

Answer 59

uhmm am i still needed? and yes this is laggy now :P

Answer 60

I closed this. Look @ my new post for my other question.
