please help me solve this equation:
Remove the parentheses on the bottom by multiplying
each inner exponent by the outer exponent
Get rid of the negative exponents by
1. Move them up or down across the fraction bar
2. Change the sign of the exponent to positive:
In this case we move the down to
the bottom as and we move the
up to the top as
Now subtract exponents of the x's
or if you prefer you can subtract
exponents the other way and get
Either is correct since they are
equivalent.
=======================================
Make sure every factor in both numerator
shows its exponent, whether it is a number
or a letter, and even if it has exponent 1:
Remove the parentheses by multiplying each
of the five inside exponents by the outside
exponent :
Now we only have to move the factors with negative
exponents from top to bottom and change the signs
of the exponents to positive:
Finally we write as
and add exponents of y:
