You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^3 . x^-6=
\n" ); document.write( "When we have a negative exponent it means the term is actually;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2Fx%5E6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so we have;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E3\"$ * $\"1%2Fx%5E6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E3%2Fx%5E6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "the next step is to subtract exponents;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
\n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( "
