UkuleleGirl:

\[\frac{(3s^{-3})^5}{3s^{-2}} \]

UkuleleGirl:

The exponent can't be negative.

UkuleleGirl:

1s? thats it?

Extrinix:

First off, let’s do the exponents rule of multiplication on the top \((3s^{-3})^5\) to \(3s^{-3+5}\) which equals \(3s^2\) Now we can add that back to the equation \(\dfrac{3s^2}{3s^{-2}}\) Use the rule of exponents for division \(\dfrac{3s^2}{3s^{-2}\) (subtract the exponents) \(\dfrac{3s}{3s}^0\) Now we can simplify it by division and you would get \(1s^0\)

I tried to help but i honestly don't know sorry

UkuleleGirl:

You want me to try just 1s?

Extrinix:

The exponents would just be zero if you go by the rules Multiplication: add Division: subtraction

UkuleleGirl:

Okay

UkuleleGirl:

Let me try 1s then.

UkuleleGirl:

Yes that was right thank you.

Extrinix:

No problem ^^
