anthonyhernandez04:

hold up, lemme try to figure it out

UkuleleGirl:

I know a little about this, but everytime i do one of these I get some kinda weird fraction and decimal

anthonyhernandez04:

i wouldv'e really luv to help u out w this question buh tbh i'm not really good at this since it's been time i don't work w this kind of work - i only know how to do financial algebra

anthonyhernandez04:

Timmyspu:

UkuleleGirl:

Okay..

marianaesangelita:

So I'm not that great at this, but I know a little about it. If u want i can try to explain this as best as I can.

UkuleleGirl:

yes please.

marianaesangelita:

Okay, so you want to to do the parintices first which 4*2 which equals 8

UkuleleGirl:

ok...

marianaesangelita:

Then it's -5q^-4/-5q^8 u wanna subtract the exponets which gets you -12, since you can't have a negative as a exponet, and to make the exponet a positive you basically switch where it's at since it's in the numrator u should put it in the denominator. then with the coefficents (-5) you divide them which equals 1 so that cancels out. Then gets you q/q^12

marianaesangelita:

Sorry if it doesn't make since and I'm not sire if thats right but that's what I got.

marianaesangelita:

sure*
