Question

What is the value of the expression?
5^-6 * 5^2/5^8

Answer 1

Here are some basic rules that you need to consider
\(\Large a^b*a^c=a^{b+c}\)

\(\LARGE \frac{ a^b}{a^c}=a^{b-c}\)

Answer 2

First, work on the numerator by using \(\Large a^b*b^c=a^{b+c}\)
Then do the division exponent rule.

Answer 3

Makes sense?

Answer 4

Hmmm kinda

Answer 5

Try working this out on here or on paper then type down what you got.

Answer 6

Otay :)

Answer 7

\(\LARGE \frac{5^{-6} * 5^2}{5^8}\)=?

Answer 8

\(\LARGE \frac{5^{-6+2}}{5^8}\)

Answer 9

And i'll leave the rest to you

Answer 10

Okay thank you :)

Answer 11

Anytime~

Answer 12

So is it 5^-12

Answer 13

I forgot to add the negative in 5^8 it was actually 5^-8

Answer 14

hello? ;_;

Answer 15

\(\LARGE \frac{5^{-6+2}}{5^{-8}}=\frac{5^{-4}}{5^{-8}}=5^{-4-(-8)}=5^{-4+8}=5^{4}\)

Answer 16

Oh thank I understand now :) ♥♥♥

Answer 17

No problem :)
