Help please. Practice these law of exponent problems without a calculator. Each answer should be of the form ae^b. For each one determine the value of a and b. I am going to enter in the equations below.

\[1. e ^{x+2}\div e ^{x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how am i supposed to know what x is?

OpenStudy (stamp):

\[e^{x+2}/e^x=e^{(x+2)-(x)}\]\[e^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. so then if you were to solve that would you you just have x=2 or would you do 2.7.. to the second power for your answer?

OpenStudy (stamp):

The answer is e squared

thank you. I have a question. it says to have it in a b format. so the b would be the 2, what would the a be? the e?

OpenStudy (stamp):

\[e^2=1e^2\]\[ae^b,\ 1e^2\]\[a=1,\ b=2\]

okay. i think i have it. thank you, i should be able to tackle the other problems now
