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

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):
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
