Question 127837: This problem is similar to the one I posted earlier. The fraction bar confuses me. I have no trouble solving problems like this:
6^5(6)^-3
The worksheet from McDougal Littell A;gebra 1 Lesson 8.2 Practice C is the one I'm workig on.
Number 22.
8^-2/2^-4x^-4 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6^5(6)^-3
-------------
Since the bases are the same, add the exponents to get:
6^2 = 36
---------------
8^-2/2^-4x^-4
Change all these bases to two:
= 2^-6/(2x)^-4
= (2x)^4/2^6
= x^4/2^2
= (1/4)x^4
