So here are a few rules with exponents that you should know:

  1. Multiplying exponents of the same base: x^m*x^n=x^{m+n}
  2. Dividing exponents of the same base: x^m\div x^n=x^{m-n}
  3. Powering a power to a power: (x^m)^n=x^{m*n}
  4. Converting a negative exponent to a positive one: x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}\ \textsf{and}\ \frac{1}{x^{-m}}=x^m
<h2>1.</h2>

Firstly, solve the outside exponent:

(2x^3y^7)^{-2}=2^{-2}x^{3*-2}y^{7*-2}=2^{-2}x^{-6}y^{-14}

Next, convert the negative exponents into positive ones:

2^{-2}x^{-6}y^{-14}=\frac{1}{2^2x^6y^{14}}=\frac{1}{4x^6y^{14}}

<u>Your final answer is \frac{1}{4x^6y^{14}}</u>

<h2>2.</h2>

For this, just divide:

\frac{12x^5y^3}{4x^{-1}}=\frac{12}{4}x^{5-(-1)}y^{3-0}=3x^6y^3

<u>Your final answer is 3x^6y^3</u>

<h2>3.</h2>

For this, convert all negative exponents into positive ones:

\frac{r^{-7}b^{-8}}{t^{-4}w}=\frac{t^4}{r^7b^8w}

<u>Your final answer is \frac{t^4}{r^7b^8w}</u>

Simplify the given polynomial expressions as much as possible
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

34a^2 + 21a - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

(12a^2 + 6a -8) - (-22a + 12 - 15a)

12a^2 + 6a - 8 + 22a + 12 - 15a

34^2 + 6a - 8 - 12 + 15a

34^2 + 21a - 20

A farmer has 90 feet of fence with which to make a corral. If he arranges it into a rectangle that is twice as long as it is wid
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

W = 15 ft. and L = 30 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 90 ft.

Twice as long as it is wide: L=2W

P = 2(L + W) = 2(2W + W) = 6W

90 = 6W

W = 15 ft. and L = 30 ft.

about 7.5 gallons of water will fill up 1 cubic foot of space. how many gallons of water will fill a goldfish pool shaped like t
Cloud [144]
Well, since there is no image I am unable to say the exact volume. But here is the volume formula-
V=L times W times H
*V=volume W=width H=height
and you don't actually have to write times you can do the symbol.

Example- if I had a rectangular prism of the width being 5 cubes, the length 8 cubes, and the height 7 cubes(following how many gallons are in a cube 7.5) I would the use my formula. V=LWH- 8 times 7= 56 56 times 5=280 280 times 7.5= 2100
V=2100 (that is your answer reply If you didn't mean the volume or you don't get it)
