anonymous · Answer

That's incorrect! But thanks for contributing :). However, I'm confident the solution is one of my solutions (b) or (c), just not sure which.

so much powers

anonymous · Answer

the question is not so clear......

anonymous · Answer

The equation is:
 -4x^-3y^2z^-4/2x^2y^-1z^-6

-4x^-3y^2z^-4 (divided by) 2x^2y^-1z^-6

campbell_st · Answer

break the problem up its

$$\frac{-4}{2} x^{-3-2}y^{2 - -1} z^{-4 - -6}$$

which simplifes to $$-2x^{-5} y^3x^2 = \frac{-2y^3z^2}{x^5}$$

Thank you!

These are not that hard if you remember that x^2 means x*x  and x^3 means x*x*x
so if you have a question like:
$$ \frac{x^2}{x^1}= \frac{x \cdot x}{x}= \frac{\cancel{x}\cdot x}{\cancel{x}} =x^1 $$  
to remind yourself it is the top exponent  minus the lower exponent.
