(10^6)=10^-18

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm (10^6)^{??}=10^{-18}\] like this

OpenStudy (narissa):

yes

Nnesha (nnesha):

exponent rule \[\huge\rm (x^m)^n=x^{m \times n}\]

OpenStudy (narissa):

is it 12 do I add?

Nnesha (nnesha):

no you should multiply don't add

OpenStudy (narissa):

6times-18?

Nnesha (nnesha):

no you should get -18 as a result so what would you multiply by 6 to get -18

OpenStudy (narissa):

-22

OpenStudy (narissa):

6 times -24 =18 I don't know how to get negative

Nnesha (nnesha):

let's say missing exponent is x \[\huge\rm (10^6)^{x}=10^{-18}\] multiply the exponents \[\huge\rm 10^{6x}=10^{-18}\] bases are the same you cancel them out then solve for x

Nnesha (nnesha):

what 6 times -24 = `18` ?

OpenStudy (narissa):

im confused

Nnesha (nnesha):

6 times -24 isn't equal to 18

Nnesha (nnesha):

6 times what = -18 ?

OpenStudy (narissa):

I really don't know because im getting positives

Nnesha (nnesha):

oaky how did you get positive ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

6 is positive so positive times negative = negative thas means 2nd exponent suppose to be negative

OpenStudy (narissa):

I did 6 times -24 =18

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay 6 times -24 isn't equal to 18

Nnesha (nnesha):

6 times 24 would be greater than 100

OpenStudy (narissa):

so I am confused

Nnesha (nnesha):

what two number would you multiply to get 18 ?

OpenStudy (narissa):

6 3

Nnesha (nnesha):

6 times 3 = 18 right but we need -18

Nnesha (nnesha):

remember negative times positive = negative

OpenStudy (narissa):

-6 times 3

Nnesha (nnesha):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @narissa (10^6)=10^-18 \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) 6 is already in the question which is positive you can't change their question

OpenStudy (narissa):

-3

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right

OpenStudy (narissa):

yaaaa thanks
