Question

i have a question with exponents and bases

Answer 1

and?

Answer 2

okay well it's 36 h to the 15th power k squared over 9 h cubed and 1k

Answer 3

Can you draw it ?

Answer 4

Can someone please help me solve or simplify this?

Answer 5

we cant tell that expression from the way you wrote it, type it as you book does, just use ^ for exponents like 2*2 = 2^2

Answer 6

i did that, i posted it using the equation form

Answer 7

this is what I see
36 h to the 15th power k squared over 9 h cubed and 1k

Answer 8

ok i will try again

Answer 9

ok i will try again
\[36 h ^{15} k ^{2} \div 9 h ^{3} k\]

Answer 10

so (36*h^15*k^2)/(9h^3k) = 4h^12*k....

Answer 11

what can you show me the steps please?

Answer 12

36/9 = 4
h^15/h^3 = h^12
k^2/k = k

Answer 13

does that make sense?

Answer 14

is this simplifying using bases and exponents equation?

Answer 15

not really, i suck at math....

Answer 16

ok in dividing like bases the base stays the same, right? and subtract the exponents when dividing

Answer 17

(36h^15*k^12)/(9h^3*k) = 36/9 * h^15/h^3 * k^2/k
= 4 * h^(15-3)*k^(2-1)
= 4*h^(12) * k^1

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

is this a little more clear?

Answer 20

yes think so, can the k's go together since only one of them is squared though?

Answer 21

and the h^(15-3) the 15 goes with the h right so ?

Answer 22

yeah

Answer 23

are you separating the h and it's exponent 15? i know that equals two but still having trouble visualizing this

Answer 24

only one is squared but k^2/k = k^2/k^1 = k^(2-1) = k

Answer 25

im confused by the question a^15/a^3 = a^(15-3) = a^12

Answer 26

\[36\times h ^{15\times} k ^{2} divided by 9 \times h ^3 \times k\]

Answer 27

nono im confused by your question about seperating the h and the exponent

Answer 28

and i have to divide the like bases ans simplify by subtracting the exponents if you didn't understand the question how did ya come up with an answer?

Answer 29

oh yeah i tend to have that affect on people i figured it out just had to draw it myself, so are ya like a math teacher or how does this site work? random people create profiles and answer homework questions

Answer 30

yeah just for kicks, if you like the answer then click the best response and the person gets a "medal" and then we look cool:0

Answer 31

And thanks for the help, hope it's right lol you resemble the math type, I'm capable of pretty much anything else, literature and english are my strong suits, history/social studies. I'm taking basic algebra in college and it still sucks this question was extra credit he give us on thursday. I'm in the lpn program, second year this is only course holding me back...that I haven't yet mastered..lol

Answer 32

well hang out here, and go to khanacademy.com, yes im a math major its all I do and i suck at most everything else.
