Question

i need someone to check my work.
question posted below

Answer 1

what did you get?

Answer 2

i got \[4^{2}\]

Answer 3

close... lets start with the top: whats 4^3*4^4

Answer 4

\[4^{7}\]

Answer 5

perfect, now divide that by 4^9

Answer 6

you subtract it not divide it dont you

Answer 7

well you divide the expression; but you get you answer my subtracting the exponents

Answer 8

you subtract 9 from 7 and then you cant have a negative exponent on the top so you bring it to the bottom by putting a 1 ove the \[4^{2}\] so it becomes \[\frac{ 1 }{ 4^{2} } or just 4^{2}\]

Answer 9

no, thats fine' you should have 4^-2

Answer 10

thats not even an answer

Answer 11

\[4^{-2}=\frac{ 1 }{ 4^2? }\]

Answer 12

yes because by putting it from the top to the bottom or vise versa it changes it from a negative exponent to a positive

Answer 13

yup

Answer 14

you can simplify 1 over 4 squared to just 4 squared

Answer 15

afraid not

Answer 16

think about it 4^2 is 16

Answer 17

but 1/4^2 is 1/16

Answer 18

so is 1 over 4^2

Answer 19

yes it is

Answer 20

okay so if your simplifying it you could just say 4^2

Answer 21

right

Answer 22

nope, thats like saying 1/2 is the same as 2

Answer 23

ohhhh
