If I call with N the missing exponent, we can write this:
\[\Large {\left( {{2^{ - 5}}} \right)^N} = {2^{ - 15}}\]
and subsequently I apply the rule of power of power, so I get this condition:
\[\Large - 5 \cdot N = - 15\]
what is N?
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
-3?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
I think no, since:
-5 * -3= +15
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
-5 * 3 = -15

We can rewrite your expression as below:
\[\Large \frac{{{7^{ - 3}} \cdot {7^9}}}{{{7^{ - 8}}}} = {7^{ - 3}} \cdot {7^9} \cdot {7^8}\]
Now I apply the rule of multiplication of power with the same basis, so I get:
\[\Large \frac{{{7^{ - 3}} \cdot {7^9}}}{{{7^{ - 8}}}} = {7^{ - 3}} \cdot {7^9} \cdot {7^8} = {7^{ - 3 + 9 + 8}} = ...?\]
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
363?
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
sorry my computer froze
OpenStudy (michele_laino):

14
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
correct! so what is the right option?
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
D?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
option D is not \[\Large {7^{14}}\]
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
you have to search for \[\Large {7^{14}}\]

positive 14 or negative 14
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
-3+9+8= +14 so?
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
a
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
yes!
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
