What is the value of https://cv-kettle-falls.brainhoney.com/Resource/30603643,0/Assets/75122_53df8565/01_08_17.gif

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \frac{ x^m }{ x^n }=x^{m-n}\]when we divide same bases we should subtract their exponents

Nnesha (nnesha):

how did you get that ?

OpenStudy (spring98):

i don't know

Nnesha (nnesha):

subtract their exponents here is an example \[\huge\rm \frac{ 2^3 }{ 2^2 } =2^{3-2}\]

OpenStudy (spring98):

it is 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

no \[\huge\rm \frac{ 5^4 }{ 5^6 }=5^{4-6}=5^{??}\]

OpenStudy (spring98):

oh oops ya i did get that wrong .so the right answer is -2 right?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes so \[\huge\rm 5^{-2}\] now flip the fraction to get positive exponents

OpenStudy (spring98):

how?

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm x^{-m}=\frac{ 1 }{ x^m }\] when you flip the fraction sign of the exponents would change

OpenStudy (spring98):

so the answer is supposed to be 1/81, 1/27, 1/9, or 1/3. those are the choice answers. which one would it be then?

Nnesha (nnesha):

is it 8 or 6 at the denominator ? sorry can't see ...

OpenStudy (spring98):

?

Nnesha (nnesha):

your answer choices are not right

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm 5^{-2}\] flip the fraction to get positive exponents exxample \[\huge\rm x^{-m}=\frac{ 1 }{ x^m }\] when you flip the fraction sign of the exponents would change

OpenStudy (spring98):

they are right or else your anwer is wrong look again!

Nnesha (nnesha):

you should look at ur answer choices

OpenStudy (spring98):

thats the answer choices they give me. And to tell you the truth i believe them more than you so don't tell me what to do.

Nnesha (nnesha):

you have to be make sure tht you type it correctly. do you think i'm telling u the wrong answer ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

i was helping you so i have to tell you the post the right stuff. they can be wrong you should believe on `mathematically concepts `
