Answer:

x^6x^{-12} and (x^{-3})^2

Explanation:

Given

(x^3x^{-6})^2

Required

Possible Next Step

Open Bracket;

From law of indices; (a^m)^n = a^{mn}

This implies that

(x^3x^{-6})^2 = (x^{3*2}x^{-6*2})

(x^3x^{-6})^2 = x^{6}x^{-12}

Hence, a possible next step is x^6x^{-12}

Another possible step is as follows

(x^3x^{-6})^2

From law of indices; a^m*a^n = a^{m+n}

This implies that

(x^3x^{-6})^2 = (x^{3+(-6)})^2

(x^3x^{-6})^2 = (x^{3-6})^2

(x^3x^{-6})^2 = (x^{-3})^2

Hence, a possible next step is (x^{-3})^2

In what type of GPA are honors, AP, IB, and duel enrollment classes given additional points
murzikaleks [220]
B. Weighted GPA

You see the unweighted is considered the college GPA and removes all AP, IB, or Honors clasess and puts all college applicants on the same level, cumulative GPA is wrong and doesn't make any sense with relation to the question, and the semester GPA wouldn't technically include the extra 10 points that these classes give.
