\[\huge 6^{(-7)} \times 6^4\]
OpenStudy (cookie_2046):
yes that.
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
Use this, \[\huge x^m \times x^n = x^{m+n}\]
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
When you multiply and have exponents you add the exponents and if you're dividing you subtract the exponents.
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
When you multiply expressions with exponents, simply add the exponents and multiply the base value.

Which is just a description of the formula @Astrophysics shared with you.
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
\[\huge 6^{(-7)} \times 6^4 \implies \frac{ 6^4 }{ 6^7 }\] I don't know if that will make it easier for you
OpenStudy (cookie_2046):
I'm just confused, i don't know if i subtract the exponent or add it
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
Notice I just used \[\huge x^{-n} = \frac{ 1 }{ x^n }\] and it doesn't matter, all you're really doing is -7+4
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
I jsut told you to add them lol.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):
How are you getting b can you please show what you're doing, if we just give you the answer that will not help you, as kidrah is asking you what's -7+4 this is simple arithmetic.

its okay but next time try a calculator :)
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
It's ok, and no do not use a calculator, I suggest you do some arithmetic problems instead that will benefit you rather than a silly calculator :P
OpenStudy (kidrah69):
Well for problems like this if he doesnt know then a calculator would be helpful :P
OpenStudy (kidrah69):
But yeah they should learn without one too :P yr right :3
