Question

Help! Write 5^0 X 5^-12 using positive exponents.

Answer 1

\[5^{0} \times 5^{-12}\]

Answer 2

exponent rule
when we multiply same bases we should `add` their exponents \[\huge\rm x^m \times x^n=x^{m+n}\]
and when we divide same bases we should `subtract` their exponents \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^m }{ x^n }=x^{m-n}\]

Answer 3

So would it be \[5^{-12}\] ? Cause i need a positive exponent

Answer 4

or use positive exponents

Answer 5

yes right next step \[\huge\rm x^{-m}=\frac{ 1 }{ x^m }\]

Answer 6

you just to know those exponent rules that's it :=)

Answer 7

okay so the final would be \[\left(\begin{matrix}1 \\ 5^{12}\end{matrix}\right)\] ?

Answer 8

yes right!

Answer 9

Okay thanks for the third time lol :)

Answer 10

haha yw! :=)
