sammixboo (sammixboo):

Well, first try it out. What do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

kk

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

A?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Hmm no :( But give me a second to explain :D

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

kk

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Sorry for the slow reply - internet problems! Anyways, say we have this fraction \(\color{blueviolet}{\dfrac{3}{4^{-2}}}\) We can make the exponent positive, so we have \(\color{blueviolet}{\dfrac{3}{4^{2}}}\) Now we can take \(\color{blueviolet}{4^2}\) and multiply it by 3, so what is 3*4^2?

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

192?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Hmm \(\color{blueviolet}{3\times4^2}\) = 48 but anyways, time to solve the real expression We have \(\color{blueviolet}{\dfrac{2}{4^{-3}}}\), do you know what to do first?

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

im thinking A

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Ah, it isn't A, but we first make the exponent positive, so we have \(\color{blueviolet}{\dfrac{2}{4^{3}}}\) Now using the example I used above do you know what we do next?

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

C or B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry guys

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

nahh its cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

net problem

sammixboo (sammixboo):

OK so now after we got \(\color{blueviolet}{\dfrac{2}{4^{3}}}\) we multiply \(\color{blueviolet}{2\times4^{3}}\)

sammixboo (sammixboo):

So first do the exponent \(\color{blueviolet}{4^{3}}\) = 4 x 4 x 4

256

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guess I am not needed??

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

u can help 2 dont feel left out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u just multiply 64*2

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

128

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How is 64*2=256??

sammixboo (sammixboo):

4 x 4 x 4 = 16 x 4 = 64

sammixboo (sammixboo):

But yes, your answer is 128 :)

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

oh okay thx

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

everyone medal each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep 2*2=4 4*2=8 8*2=16 16*2=32 32*2=64 64*2=128 128*2=256 256*2=512 512*2=1024 1024*2=2048 2048*2=4096 4096*2=I forgot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I cant medal meself..damm
