Question 197712: what does it mean when a question ask that you give your answer using the form At^B
the question is t^4/t^8
A=
B= -4
I have figured out B t^4-8 =t= -4
and I got that right
so what is the trick to the getting the answer to A
thanks again for all your help

%28t%5E4%29%2F%28t%5E8%29=t%5E%284-8%29=t%5E%28-4%29


So %28t%5E4%29%2F%28t%5E8%29=t%5E%28-4%29


Since we want t%5E%28-4%29 to be of the form At%5EB, this means that t%5E%28-4%29=At%5EB. So this must mean that A=1 and B=-4
