Question

(t9)-8 what is the simplify expression

Answer 1

The answer would be -72t because all you would have to do is multiply the expression

Answer 2

$\bf ~\hspace{7em}\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} ~\hspace{4.5em} a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}} ~\hspace{4.5em} \cfrac{a^n}{a^m}\implies a^na^{-m}\implies a^{n-m} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ (t^9)^{-8}\implies t^{-8\cdot 9}\implies t^{-72}\implies \cfrac{1}{t^{72}}$
