Multyplying powers with the same base.
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):
\[x^5y^2(x ^{-6}y)=x ^{5+(-6)}y ^{2+1}=x ^{-1}y^3=\frac{y^3}{x}\]

-9m^-2n^5 x 2m^-3n^-6 =-18m^5n
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y arent th exponents ngative?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
\[-9m ^{-2}n^5(2m ^{-3}n ^{-6})=-18m ^{-2+-3}n ^{5+-6}=-18m ^{-5}n ^{-1}\]

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

(-2m^3) (3.5m^-3) = -7m^0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
???
OpenStudy (mertsj):
yes. And m^0 = 1 so the answer is -7
