Question

whats the correct simplification of this ? x^9y14/x^2y^9 ?

Answer 1

use the property of

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

Answer 2

using this you get

\[x^9y^14x^{-2}y^{-9}\]

Answer 3

then you can use the property

\[a^n*a^m=a^{n+m}\]

Answer 4

really the first property is

\[\frac{1}{a^n}=a^{(-1)n}\]

Answer 5

These are the choices a) x^11 y^11 b) x^12 y^12 c) x^7 y^5 d) x18 y16

Answer 6

use the properties i showed you

if the bases of the exponents are the same you add the exponents

Answer 7

\[x^9y^{14}x^{-2}y^{-9}=x^{9+-2}y^{14+-9}\]
