where is the Q??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hold on
OpenStudy (anonymous):

it just says find an equivalent exponential expression without denominators. keep the same base
OpenStudy (gorv):
so we need to move 8 to numerator
OpenStudy (gorv):
if we move something from denominator numerator thn its power multiplied by minus sign
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is easy i can help you !!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know you tell me i dont understand it

like 1/x
OpenStudy (gorv):
if we move it up
OpenStudy (gorv):
=x^(-1)
OpenStudy (gorv):
1/x^4
=x^(-4)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well it wouldnt be 1/64 cause ive tried multiple times for other problems and okay @kissmebaby!!34

OpenStudy (gorv):
power was 4 multiplied by minus sign
=-4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@kissmebaby!!!34
OpenStudy (gorv):
we have to keep the base same
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its -4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
over 1

we have \[\frac{ 1 }{ x^{19} }\]
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
$$\Huge \frac{1}{a^n}=a^{-n}$$
OpenStudy (gorv):
now if we move it numerator
OpenStudy (gorv):
\[\frac{ 1 }{ x^{19} }=x^{-19}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8x8 is 64 what would the exponent for it be?

2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so i just but 64^2 ?
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
$$\Huge 8 \cdot 8 = 8^2 = 64$$
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so just 64?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hold on

it says
OpenStudy (anonymous):
find an equivalent exponential expression without denominators. keep the same base
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
do you know what a denominator is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah its the number on the bottom
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
$$\Huge \frac{1}{a^n}$$

OpenStudy (gorv):
here base=8
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
what is the denominator?
OpenStudy (gorv):
we have to keep the base same
OpenStudy (anonymous):
*facepalm , so i put 8/64^2
OpenStudy (gorv):
so keep it as 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then...
OpenStudy (gorv):
what ie the power of 8 ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
umm 64
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
1/8^2 = 1/(8^2)
