7. x7 • y3 • x8 • y2 (1 point)

geerky42 (geerky42):

Remember, \(a^ba^c = a^{b+c}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no:(

geerky42 (geerky42):

For example, \(x^7x^8 = x^{7+8} = x^{15}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i get that do i do the same for that questions

geerky42 (geerky42):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks can you help me with a few more or no?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Sure, just post a new question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4. 120m16/ 45m8

geerky42 (geerky42):

\(\dfrac{a^b}{a^c} = a^ba^{-c} = a^{b-c}\)

geerky42 (geerky42):

\[\dfrac{120m^{16}}{45m^8} = \dfrac{120}{45}\cdot m^{16} m^{-8}\]

geerky42 (geerky42):

Is this clear? No?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is thank you

geerky42 (geerky42):

You're welcome.

8b3/20b3

geerky42 (geerky42):

Since the power of b is both same in numerator and denominator, they cancel out so this leave you 8/20. Reduce it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9. Explain the process you would use to simplify 5^3*5^2/5^7 .

geerky42 (geerky42):

Got to go sorry. @nubeer @some_someone @e.mccormick

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Earlier, geerky42 talked about how you add together exponents when multiplying. You understand what he did then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Then there was another problem when dividing he showed subtracitng them. All this problem has is both of those in one question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you soo much

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

No problem.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

A lot of math is like this. You learn one rule. Then another. And another.... and so on. Then they have you use those rules together. Eventually, you are using dozens of rules all at once, theorems and lemmas galore, all without realizing it. Take multiplication. It is defined as repeated additions. Every time you multiply you use that rule and do not think about it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks you :)

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

np. Have fun!
