C^9 D^-7/C^14 D^-10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in a division of an exponent,,u just subtract there exponent.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\frac{c^9 d^{-7}}{c^{14}d^{-10}} \implies \frac{c^9}{c^{14}} \times \frac{d^{-7}}{d^{-10}} \implies c^{9 - 14} \times d^{-7 - (-10)} \implies (c^{9-14} )(d^{-7+10})\] getting an idea now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Now where do i go from there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be c^5 and d^3?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

close

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it's c^(-5) d^3 9 - 14 = -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c^-5 and d^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thats what imeant to put but i just put 5 sorry

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[c^{-5} \times d^3 \implies \frac{1}{c^5} \times d^3 \implies \frac{d^3}{c^5}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

that's simplifying it further

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so my answer choices are A. D^2/ D^4 B. C^5 D^3 C. D^3 D^5 D. C^2 D^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would my answer be B.?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

is B c^5? not c^-5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

that makes no sense...exponent of c should be -5 is the question \[\LARGE \frac{c^9 d^{-7}}{c^{14}d^{-10}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me look again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it is the exact question and all of the answers

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

B is \(\large c^5 d^3?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, if i knew how to post the whole question with the answers I would show you everything is the exact way i put it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

this makes no sense :( B would be right if the question was \[\huge \frac{c^9 d^{-7}}{c^{-14} d^{-10}}\] could you check if that's the question

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh you just posted the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Question 12 of 20 5.0 Points A. B. c5d3 C. D. c2d4

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

could you post a pic of the choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and i just did but have the answers didnt come up but A. d^2 d^4 C. d^3 d^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. d^2 / d^4 C. d^3 / d^5

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i meant could you post a pic of the choices just like that question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wont let me for some reason

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

none of these are right :( but B is the closest...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alrighty i guess im going to put b and im going to let you know if it was right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tell you the book is so dumb :(

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It messes my questions and stuff up they didnt put it right or something

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yeah i agree :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has did this before :/

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

lol :)) books love doing that :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But, Thank you anyways :) and Yeah I know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

<tips imaginary hat>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)
