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

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct! it is N=3

OpenStudy (testing123guest):

thanks man u rock i will talk to u tomorrow i am going t hop off my computer

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! :)

OpenStudy (testing123guest):

wait i have one more question sorry

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! I'm ready!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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):

what is -3+9+8=...?

OpenStudy (testing123guest):

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 \[\Large {7^{14}}\]

OpenStudy (testing123guest):

positive 14 or negative 14

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

-3+9+8= +14 so?

OpenStudy (testing123guest):

a

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (testing123guest):

u rock

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thanks! :)
