Question

WILL GIVE MEDAL!! what is the value of (picture in comment box)

Answer 1

Negative exponents mean that you have to move the value to the numerator. Move the 2 and the x^-3 up, and you get 2x^3/y^5

Answer 2

^ means the next number is an exponent, btw. So 2x^3 is Two x cubed

Answer 3

and y^5 is y to the power of 5

Answer 4

sooo.....i dont get it. lol help walk me thorugh it

Answer 5

Okay, so the original equation is 1/2^-2 x^-3 y^5

Answer 6

The numbers that have negative exponents are 2 and x

Answer 7

If there's a negative exponent in the denominator, you want to move it to the numerator, and change the exponent to positive

Answer 8

ok....what now?

Answer 9

So, if you move the 2^-2 to the top, you multiply it by the numerator, which is 1. You're left with 2. Pretty simple, 2 times 1

Answer 10

Right now, the equation is 2/x^-3 y^5

Answer 11

but thats not one of the answers

Answer 12

Now, you want to move the x^-3 up to the numerator. You do the same thing. Multiply the numerator by x^3, and you get 2x^3 / y^5 The y^5 stays on the bottom. That's fine.

Answer 13

the choices are: 16, -4, -1/32, or -16

Answer 14

Um, none of those would work. You can't solve it with no equal sign. Was that the whole equation?

Answer 15

thoes are the choices for the answer to the problem

Answer 16

We don't have any information on what to plug in for x or y, so it can't be solved. Are you 100% sure that's all the information you've been given, that picture and the answer choices?

Answer 17

oh! i forgot x=2 and y=4

Answer 18

sorry i thought it was on the picture

Answer 19

@whovianchick

Answer 20

ok! I can help with that more now.

Answer 21

ok lol sorry

Answer 22

Hey girl come help me

Answer 23

So, let's plug them in. It's 2(2)^3 over (4)^5.
The exponent for x is ONLY for x. Don't multiply x by two and then do the exponent, that's wrong. So, 2^3 is 8, times 2 is 16. 4^5 is 1024 (yes, big number, don't freak out.) You're left with 16/1024, or 1/64.

Answer 24

but thats not one of the choices. you mean 1/32?

Answer 25

@whovianchick

Answer 26

i need help

Answer 27

i mean -1/32? @whovianchick

Answer 28

like i said the choices are the choices are: 16, -4, -1/32, or -16 @whovianchick

Answer 29

Wait no that's wrong, I did something wrong. When you plug it in, you get -1/32

Answer 30

I think that's it. Sorry! That would've been helpful to have the values at first

Answer 31

Yeah

Answer 32

ok thank you for your help. @whovianchick

Answer 33
