oh wow,....
ya can u help plz
When multiplying powers with the same base, simply add the exponents. For example,\[3^2 \times 3^4 = 3^6\]
When dividing powers with the same base, simply subtract the exponents. For example,\[3^2 \div 3^4 = 3^{-2}\]
Any number raised to the exponent 0 equals 1. For example,\[3^0 = 1\]
And to change the sign of an exponent, take the reciprocal of the power. For example,\[3^{-2} = \frac{ 1 }{ 3^2 }\]
That should be everything you need.
sorry i am not understanding
Take the second box on your question. It is a multiplication of powers with the same base. So add the exponents. What do you get?
Look at the first example I did and apply that to your question.
i am not sure i am horrible at exponites
It's not difficult, all you need is to be able to add and subtract.
In the second box, the base is 5. What are the two exponents?
3 and -1
Good. Add those two exponents together. What do you get?
2
Terrific. So\[5^3 \times 5^{-1} = 5^2\]See how it works. Easy as pie.
Now, I would leave the 3rd box the way it is and simplify the 4th box. Look at my 4th example above. What happens when you take the reciprocal of a power?
Hello?
sorry
