Can someone check some answers for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, what kind of problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multyplying powers with the same base.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x^5y^2) (x^-6y) = xy^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it right?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i typed it wrong. instead of xy^2 its xy^3

OpenStudy (mertsj):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh what? whats the right answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it x^-1y3?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[x^5y^2(x ^{-6}y)=x ^{5+(-6)}y ^{2+1}=x ^{-1}y^3=\frac{y^3}{x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh. ok. can u chek some other ones for me please?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9m^-2n^5 x 2m^-3n^-6 =-18m^5n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y arent th exponents ngative?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[-9m ^{-2}n^5(2m ^{-3}n ^{-6})=-18m ^{-2+-3}n ^{5+-6}=-18m ^{-5}n ^{-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got that sam answer but it was multiple choice and the exponents were positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there might hae been a mistake. ill ask my teacher

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It could be written like this: \[-\frac{18}{m^5n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh. ur right. ill check it out and see.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-2m^3) (3.5m^-3) = -7m^0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes. And m^0 = 1 so the answer is -7
