OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would I do the same here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x ^{2}.y ^{4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means I add the exponents, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[xy^6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know how to work with indices? subtract when u divide and add when multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I never it be called indices. Where are you from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^8 / x^6 = x^2 from bulgaria, jordan and now australia

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^8 / x^6 = x^2 from bulgaria, jordan and now australia

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y^9 / y^5 = y^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y^9 / y^5 = y^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I subtract? Oh, that's so cool!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol cool alright...maths is very cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol cool alright...maths is very cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x^2 }{ y^4 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hate it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its hard i know, not for everyone...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

especially me lol is that the final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x2.y4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x2.y4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 2 and 4 are indices ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it! lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and where r u from?
