Question

Answer 1

how do i figure this out?

Answer 2

I'm not too sure, but I would try Distribution property.. thats what I would do.

Answer 3

7^5 is 16807
-7^-3 is -1/343
multiply those together and you'll have your answer

Answer 4

use this

\[x^{-2} = \frac{ 1 }{ x^{2} }\]

and

(x^a) * (x^b) = x^(a+b)

Answer 5

Remember that when multiplying with exponents, you add the exponents together, like Jhonyy is saying.

\((x)^{a+b}\)

Vice versa goes for division, in which you would subtract the exponents.
