:o?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its already simplified right

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

I'm saying \[x^{-1} = \frac{1}{x^1} = \frac{1}{x}\]

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

x^-1 is the same as 1/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ye and the second?

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

you can express anything to the power of 1 so we just dont write the 1 as an exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u dont mind if u stay with me till i finish and bare with me while i upload screenies

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

since you know the rule can you express the equation not as a fraction

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

For example x/y = x(y^(-1))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what was number 2?

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

and when you multiply numbers with exponents you just add them so x^2(x^3) = x^(2+3) = x^5

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

I'm going over number 2

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

you simply use the rule you applied in the first question, then you add exponents on similar variables

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically x2+ x3= x5?

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

no you dont add exponents when adding only when multiplying
