Question

Medal for each Explanation

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{28s^{-5}}{4s}\)

You will divide the whole numbers, and subtract the exponents.

Whole numbers: 28, 4

Exponents, -5, 1

28 / 4 = 7
-5 - 1 = -6

Put them together: \(7s^{-6}\)

Answer 2

which it 4/28 which is 7

Answer 3

then im lost with the rest

Answer 4

\(7s^{-6} = \dfrac{7}{s^6}\)

So A is incorrect.

Answer 5

You subtract the exponents (-5 and 1).

Do you know what exponents are?

Answer 6

yeah the letters which were called variables but now exponents

Answer 7

\(\dfrac{18w^{-8}}{3w}\)

Divide whole numbers: 18 / 3 = 6

Subtract exponents: -8 - 1 = -9

Combine:

\(6w^{-9}\)

Answer 8

Exponents are the SMALL numbers on top of variables.

If there is a variable there is ALWAYS an exponent. Even though it might not show one over 'w' on the bottom, it still has an exponent of 1.

Answer 9

alright i get that it makes sense so far so you got the 1 from one of the Exponents

Answer 10

Yes, and I got the -5 from the other exponent on the top.

Answer 11

Since \(6w^{-9}\) also equals \(\dfrac{6}{w^9}\) then B is correct.

Answer 12

ok and since its -5 aganst a positive youre suppose to add which would make it 6

Answer 13

-6

Answer 14

You always subtract the exponents when dividing. So -5 - 1 = -6.

Answer 15

so A is False BC and D are True

Answer 16

No, we've only gone over A and B.

A is false.

B is true.

Answer 17

oh i know i just did the rest

Answer 18

im a fast learner lol

Answer 19

24q^-5 / 2q

Divide the whole numbers: 24 / 2 = 12

Subtract the exponents: -5 - 1 = -6

Combine: 12q^-6 or 12/q^6

So C is correct too.

Answer 20

Lol, let me check D.

Answer 21

so am i correct by any chance

Answer 22

Yup, it's correct.

Answer 23

So B, C, and D are correct. And A is incorrect.

Answer 24

YAY thank you so much you literally just taught me THAN YOU THANK YOU

Answer 25

Can you do Question 4?

Answer 26

Lol, np. Question 4 is very similar.

Answer 27

I UNDERSTAND

Answer 28

so would the 4th one be D by any chance

Answer 29

Yes, that's correct!!

Answer 30

Awesome, you've mastered it!

Answer 31

but i have a question about whats the difference well what would make it different if it was the other way around

Answer 32

What do you mean by 'the other way around'?

Answer 33

\[6ac^2\] like that what would make it that way

Answer 34

and i got C for this one is that correct or D

Answer 35

like those type of answer choices what would make them different wait would it make it that way if i was multiplying

Answer 36

so it would actually be D for the 5th one because i had to subtract right

Answer 37

Hold on..

Answer 38

lol sorry

Answer 39

The ration is the same thing as dividing..

Answer 40

so am i correct with 5th one

Answer 41

It's C, yup.

Answer 42

It can't be D, because it would have to be a negative exponent, not a positive.

Answer 43

so i was correct

Answer 44

Yes.
