Normally, we could add exponents.
however, that only is possible when the bases are the same
recall what exponents mean
12³=12*12*12
so we cannot add exponents for 12³*11³ because that means 12*12*12*11*11*11
it would not equal 12⁶ or 11⁶
or you could refer to the rule

notice when x=x then we can add the bases
fun fact below
we can reverse a previous exponential rule like this
since

then

therefor

we can't add the exponents because the bases are not the same
Answer:
30 - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
When you distribute, that means you multiply everything on the outside of the parentheses by everything on the inside.
5 (6-2)
is really
5*6 - 5*2
30 - 10
Answer:
x≠-1,1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(g(x)) is a composition where g(x) is is substituted for x in f(x).
Recall, f(x) is 2/x. So we write 2/|x|-1. This places x in the denominator and 0 cannot be in the denominator x. Any value of x that makes the denominator 0 will not be in the domain.
|x|-1=0
|x|=1
x=1,-1
Just multiply them together and get a4-2a2-24.
(a2-6)(a2+4)
F: a4
O:4a2
I:-6a2
L:-24
Add together
a4-2a2-24
