Can anybody help me with a couple of math questions?

OpenStudy (kainui):

Only if you ask them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The biggest one I need help with is P1 times V1 over T1= P2 times V2 over T2 Solve for T2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large \frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\]??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it as easy as subtracting P2V2 from both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it is easy you want \(T_2\) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. I need to solve for T2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

flip both sides to get it in the numerator first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

clear?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no is a fine answer, i can show you just asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is T1 over P1V1 times P2V2=T2 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you! Do you mind helping me with a couple more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can write it as \[\frac{P_1V_1P_2V_2}{T_1}\] if you like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to know how to write a base with an exponent as a fraction Like 4 to the -2 power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large 4^{-2}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large b^{-n}=\frac{1}{b^n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[\large 4^{-2}=\frac{1}{4^2}=\frac{1}{16}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Just one more. This one is really simple but math isn't my strong suit. It stresses me out. Does \[4^{1}\times 4^{-3}\] equal \[4^{-2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes because \(1-3=-2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will be happy to help with more if you need no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so 4 to the first power divided by 4 to the third power is equal to 4 to the first power times 4 to the negative third power?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{4}{4^3}=\frac{1}{4^2}\] by cancelling you can write \[\frac{1}{4^2}\] as \(4^{-2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you can write \[\frac{4}{4^3}=4\times 4^{-3}=4^{1-3}=4^{-2}\] it is all the same really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Thank you so much!!!
