Negative exponents work the same as positive ones, except you have to consider the inverse of the base.

So, if for example 4^3 = 64, in the same fashion you have

4^{-3} = \dfrac{1}{4^3} = \dfrac{1}{64}

So, negative exponents lead to a fraction with numerator 1 and denominator the same expression, but with positive exponent.

So, in your case, let's work with the inner parenthesis first:

6a^{-4}b^2 = 6 \dfrac{1}{a^4}b^2 = \dfrac{6b^2}{a^4}

Now, if we want to raise this to the negative two, we have

\left(\dfrac{6b^2}{a^4}\right)^{-2} = \dfrac{1}{\left(\frac{6b^2}{a^4}\right)^2}} = \dfrac{1}{\frac{36b^4}{a^8}} = \dfrac{a^8}{36b^4}

HELP ME ASAP! Will give BRAINLIEST! Please read the question THEN answer correctly! No guessing. Check ALL that apply.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

x = -2 or x = 1/3 thus: B & C

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 x^2 + 7 x - 2 = 2 x - x^2

Subtract 2 x - x^2 from both sides:

3 x^2 + 5 x - 2 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x + 2) (3 x - 1) = 0

Split into two equations:

x + 2 = 0 or 3 x - 1 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = -2 or 3 x - 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = -2 or 3 x = 1

Divide both sides by 3:

Answer: x = -2 or x = 1/3

What would the variables for a and b be? 3/x + 5/x^2 = (ax+b)/x^2
allsm [11]

Answer:

a=3,b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{x}  +  \frac{5}{ {x}^{2}  }  \\  =  \frac{3x}{ {x}^{2} }   +  \frac{5}{ {x}^{2} }  \\  =  \frac{3x + 5}{ {x}^{2} }

so as you got it:

\frac{(ax + b)}{ {x}^{2} }  =  \frac{3x + 5}{ {x}^{2} }  \\ a = 3 \\ b = 5
