Vocaloid (vocaloid):

first you want to apply the rule of multiplying exponents (3^8)^-2 = ?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

1/43046721

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

don't plug it into a calculator, please

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

write it in terms of 3^___

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

oh ok.. 1 / 3^16

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good [ 2^(-5) ] ^ (-2) = ?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

(in terms of 2 ^ _____)

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

(1/32)^2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

answer should be in the form 2^____

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

just multiply the exponents together and fill in the blank

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i dont know this one...

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

what are the exponents?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

-5 and -2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

now multiply them together

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

10

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good so 2^10

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

now do (9^0)^(-2)

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

and while we are solving this problem.. make sure to tell me the steps as well.. what are the steps so far?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

9^-2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

i'm showing you the steps.......

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

and no

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

again, multiply the exponents together

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i know but in words..

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

like #1. blah blah blah... and then show the actual work 2.etc..

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

just explain what i'm doing in words

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

yes ofcourse

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i dont know what we are doing exactly...

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

simplifying the first part of the expression

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

we have (3^8 * 2^-2* 9^0)^-2 so we're simplifying this by multiplying the inner exponents by the outer exponents, and keeping the bases

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i only know the first step : apply the rule of multiplying exponents

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok and the second step?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

we're still not done with the first step what is (9^0)^(-2)?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

oh right... 1^-2?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, let's write down what we have so far

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok..
