Help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(5x^6) \times (x^{-12})\]

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

and what are you asking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need it simplified.

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

ok

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

im not sure but I do belive you have to -^6 and ^12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My choices are \[5d^{-72}\] \[6d^{-72}\] \[5d^{-6}\] \[6d^{-6}\] I got \[\frac{ 5 }{ x^6 }\] from wolframaplha and from mathway.

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

believe*

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

what do you have to simplify it in to a whole number or fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I need add the exponents. So it would be \[5d^{-6}\] http://www.purplemath.com/modules/exponent.htm

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

how are you getting d when its x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I had to switch it to put it into wolframalpha it should be d in the original not x

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

\[5x ^{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be -6

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

with a -6 tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):
