simplify the given expression and assume that no variable equals 0. (19x^-6 y^11)(-6xy^5)
Just multiply them all while using the indices law :)
idk how to do that
Please Help
Huh?
\[\Large\hspace{20pt}(19x^{-6}y^{11})(-6xy^5)\]\[\Large=-6\cdot19\cdot x^{-6}\cdot x\cdot y^{11}\cdot y^5\]\[\Large=-114x^{-6+1}y^{11+5}\]\[\Large=-114x^5y^{16}\]
how did u do that
ok i should have added one more step \[\hspace{20pt}\Large(19x^{-6}y^{11})(-6xy^5)\]\[\Large=19\cdot x^{-6}\cdot y^{11}\cdot(-6)\cdot x\cdot y^5\]\[\Large=-6\cdot19\cdot x^{-6}\cdot x\cdot y^{11}\cdot y^5\] Anyway which step was it that you didn't understand? :)
i dont understand none of it
how do u do this
Do you have problem with the first step
yea
I'm just taking out all the factors
and you know the tiny little dot means multiplies?
and 19x^-6 means 19 multiplied by x^-6
So what is it that you don't understand?
i got it now i reakon
all of it?
no
So the second step is just regrouping
yea
And the third step makes use of the laws of indices: \[\Large x^m\cdot x^n=x^{m+n}\]
wat bout (12x^8 y^9)^3 divided by 8x^9 y ^18)^3
\[\Large\frac{(12x^8y^9)^3}{(8x^9y^{18})^3}\]\[\Large=\left(\frac{12x^8y^9}{8x^9y^{18}}\right)^3\]\[\Large=\left(\frac{12}8\cdot\frac{x^8}{x^9}\cdot\frac{y^9}{y^{18}}\right)^3\]\[\Large=(1.5x^{8-9}y^{9-18})^3\]\[\Large=(1.5x^{-1}y^{-9})^3\]\[\Large=3.375x^{-3}y^{-9}\]\[\Large=\frac{3.375}{x^3y^9}\] Sorry I have to sleep now please ask others or ask your teachers bye and have a good day
