how would i do \[\huge x ^{2\over5}\times x^{2\over9}\]? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
does it need common denominators? :)
OpenStudy (zepp):
It needs common base only.

\[\huge (x)^a \cdot (x)^b = (x)^{a+b}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so \[\huge x ^{18\over45}\times x^{10\over45}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Going well..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x^{28/45}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes you are right...
Well Done..

okay and when dividing powers you subtract right??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes very right..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\huge \frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and when raising a power to another power we multiply?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\huge (x^a)^b = (x)^{a \times b}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wats \[i^{-37}\]??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i^37
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay well gtg...thanks for the help :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[i^2 = -1\]
\[i^3 = -i\]
\[i^4 = 1\]
Do you want to find its value ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes i did :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What you got as answer??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
simplify \[\huge i ^{37}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don get how to do it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
See first divide 37 by 4 and find the remainder..

why 4?
OpenStudy (chaise):
i=sqrt(-1)
i^2=-1
i^3=-i
i^4=i
i^5=sqrt(-1)
i^6=-1
i^7=-i
i^8=i
Do you see the relationship and repetition? Simply divide 37 by 4, and use the remainder to determine what the power will be, and then use the above table thingo.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because i^4 = 1 it will be easy for you..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9.25?
OpenStudy (chaise):
The series repeats itself after the fourth power.
