this rule says you are going to multiply the exponents inside by the outer exponent
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[3x^2y^{12} \] and\[y^9\]
OpenStudy (freckles):
well you just forgot to do it to 1st power on the 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 thought 3 stayed the same?
OpenStudy (freckles):
\[(3^1 x^1y^6)^2=3^{1 \cdot 2}x^{1 \cdot 2}y^{6 \cdot 2 }=3^{2}x^{2}y^{12} \\ (y^3)^3=y^{3 \cdot 3}=y^{9} \\ \text{ so now you have } 3^2 x^2 y^{12} \cdot y^9\]
--
why would 3 stay the same when it is being squared?

\[3^2 \neq 3 \]
OpenStudy (freckles):
\[3^2=3(3)=?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so the first one?
OpenStudy (freckles):
right since \[y^{12} y^9=y^{12+9}=y^{21}\]
OpenStudy (freckles):
just so you know x and y are numbers just like 3 is a number

can you help with another?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
OpenStudy (freckles):
sure

Choose the correct simplification of \[\frac{ f ^{9} h ^{23} }{ f ^{3} h ^{17} }\]
OpenStudy (freckles):
use quotient rule for exponents here

\[\frac{u^{n}}{u^m}=u^{n-m}\]
OpenStudy (freckles):
\[\frac{f^9}{f^3} \cdot \frac{h^{23}}{h^{17}}=?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[f ^{6}h ^{6}\]
OpenStudy (freckles):
yep
since 9-3=6 and 23-17=6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
awesome thanks so much!
