Answer 1

You should be able to work this out based on the explanation i gave you earlier, or do you just want someone to give you the answer.

Answer 2

i didnt get u explanation earlyer so...ya..

Answer 3

Yes I did, I typed out a whole mess of explanations, if you bothered to look.

Answer 7

right, factor it. Break it down into it's smallest numbers. So what do you get when you break it down like that?

Answer 8

i dont know how to do that

Answer 9

\[24x^3/8x^{-2}\]

\[3x^3 \times x^2 = 3x^{2 + 3} = 3x^5\]

Because: \[x^m \times x^n = x^{m + n}\]

And,

\[1/x^{-n} = x^n\]
