Question

Help plz 4 medal and fan

Answer 1

here it is

Answer 2

x^-40 * x^2
= x^-40+2
=x^38

Answer 3

first
\[(x^a)^b = x^{a \times b}\]
so \[(x^5)^{-8} = ?\]

Answer 4

how can you times X @hoblos

Answer 5

you mean if we have
\[x^a x^b\]
?

Answer 6

no (X^5)^-8 how do u times x?

Answer 7

urggg i hate this

Answer 8

the general formula says
\[(x^a)^b = x^{ab}\]
so here
\[(x^5)^{-8} = x^{5(-8)} = x^{-40}\]

Answer 9

now
\[x^{-40} x^2 = ?\]

Answer 10

umm donno

Answer 11

sry im freakin stupid

Answer 12

\[x^a x^b = x^{a + b}\]
so here
\[x^{-40} x^2 = x^{-40+2} = ?\]

Answer 13

x^-42

Answer 14

don't say that you are NOT
just try and you will be able to solve it

Answer 15

-40+2 = -38

Answer 16

ive failed 7 years of mathim in 9th grade

Answer 17

There's a formula that if a term is raised to the power of something outside brackets, the power outside brackets will be multiplied.
Even if the power inside is 1 it'll get multiplied

Here

\[(x ^{5})^{-8}= x ^{5\times-8}=x ^{-40}\]

rest has been explained by hoblos

Answer 18

that's mot a shame , Bill Gates failed to
so must not stop trying

Answer 19

He did :O

Answer 20

\[x ^{-b} = \frac{ 1 }{ x^b }\]

Answer 21

?

Answer 22

whats that

Answer 23

Another rule, it's how you make the negative exponent positive

Answer 24

oh gosh dats the last thing i want can ya give me the answer plz i would like to move on

Answer 25

you will use that after a bit @luvalpaca
now
\[x^{-40+2} = ?\]

Answer 26

grrrr

Answer 27

just give me the answer plz

Answer 28

just try once more
-40+2 =-38
so
\[x^{-40+2} = ?\]

Answer 29

ppl these days

Answer 30
