Question

solve
(9^-6)^3=9

Answer 1

Hello! are you sure you aren't missing any variable or made a typo in your question? :3

Answer 2

i typed it as it shows

Answer 3

well I am pretty sure (9^(-6))^3 doesn't equal 9
is there some sort of x or n or a letter among the letters that could have been attached to the question?

Answer 4

it simply says solve
(9^negative6)^3=9

Answer 5

*among the numbers
sorry

Answer 6

np :)

Answer 7

im just trying to finish this...lol

Answer 8

*shrugs* ok then

I'll do my best to work with what I have then,

there is this idea that
(x^a)^b = x^(a*b)

for example
(2^4)^5 = 2^(4*5) = 2^(20)

do you see what I did there? :)

Answer 9

trust me... it makes about as much sense to me as the Dead Sea Scrolls would

Answer 10

u put the variables on each side of the equation

Answer 11

hmm?

Answer 12

no... you wrote it out in long form sorry

Answer 13

it's ok xD

so did you understand what I meant?

what do you think (9^(-6))^3 would simplify to then?

Answer 14

1/3^36??

Answer 15

3(^-12) to the third power

Answer 16

yesh ^_^

Answer 17

or rather 3^(-12)^3... ugh... trying to solve is hard enough without trying to remember the right ways to write it too...lol

Answer 18

it's correct either way ;P
I just don't know what to do with it after this...

Answer 19

me either lmao... it makes no sense... funny thing i watched my teacher take the test ...her own test... and she got 84%

Answer 20

what if i am looking at it wrong and it is simplify..like (9^-6)^3=9___

Answer 21

so it would be (-6)^3=____

Answer 22

it would make more sense that way i think

Answer 23

ehhhh I don't think dividing with exponents work like that xD

Answer 24

sheesh ... idk

Answer 25

yeah that is what gets me but i think that i was reading it wrong and it is:
let me try to attach an image of the question

Answer 26

there is a blank after the 9
=9___

Answer 27

oh! just put ^(-18) there xD

Answer 28

yea!!!
