Question

X (SQUARED)5
DIVIDED BY
X (SQUARED )-8

Answer 1

is it,
\[\frac{x^5}{x^{-8}}\]
or
\[\frac{x^2*5}{x^2-8} \]
??

Answer 2

the top one

Answer 3

x^(5-(-8)) = x^13

Answer 4

use this:
\[\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}\]
does this help ?

Answer 5

ok thank you

how would you simplify xy (squared)-6

Answer 6

\[\frac{x^a}{x^{-b}} \implies x^{a +b}\]

Answer 7

yes that helps

Answer 8

\[\frac{x^a}{x^{-b}}=x^{a+b} \]

Answer 9

First only say squared when there is a 2 up there. use the carrot ^ so x squared is x^2 and x to the fifth power is x^5

Answer 10

so your asking about (x*y)^(-6)?

Answer 11

= x^(-6)*y^(-6)

Answer 12

\[(xy)^{-6}\]
right ?
\[(xy)^a=x^a*y^a\]

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

(xy) -6

Answer 15

xy^-6

Answer 16

make sure you use the brackets accordingly
(xy)^(-6) = x^(-6) * y^(-6)
but does not equal xy^(-6) ( this is the same thing as x * y^(-6))
