If you look closely at the exponents, you can see they are multiplied by 2.

the first step 1 is wrong, they multiply by 2 as (a^b)^c=a^bc

step three is wrong because we subtract exponents when we divide

a^b/a^c=a^b-c

Sorry super confusing the way they asked it.

Answer 15

@zzr0ck3r

The question asks *Which is the first incorrect step and why?"

Answer 16

right, it is NOT incorrect to multiply each exponent by 2. So that is not the INCORRECT answer.

Since it is correct to do that....

Answer 17

so D?

Answer 18

First they multiply exponents by 2 and that is correct

They thin add exponents for stuff in the denom and num

But then they add the exponents when they divide, and they should have subtracted.

Answer 19

Yea, it's D. ^^; my mind is so foggy.

Answer 20

yes d) I said C but i mean D)

Answer 21
