Answer:

Keep the base the same and then subtract the exponents.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to one of the law of indices, for given values a, m and n;

a^m/a^n = a^(m-n)

The base value which is a is maintained and the difference of exponents are taken. In indices division becomes subtraction.

Now given the expression

3^-6/3^-4

As we can see, both the numerator and denominator has the same base which is 3, therefore we will keep the base and take the difference of its exponents according to the law above:

3^-6/3^-4 = 3^(-6-(-4))

= 3^(-6+4)

= 3^-2

= 1/3^2

= 1/9

What is greater 1/3 or 1/8
Ludmilka [50]
1/3 is greater. Picture a pie with nothing cut into it. Then, you cut 3 equal pieces out of it, leaving no pie remaining. So, if you take 1 piece, you have 2 pieces that you didn't take. So if you do the exact same thing, but you cut <em>8 </em>pieces out of the pie and you take 1 piece, there are still 7 pieces remaining. So 1/8 is a smaller part of the pie than the 1/3, since you are cutting the pie into 8 identical pieces while with 1/3 you are cutting the same sized pie into 3 pieces. Sorry if I was confusing, just ask me if you want an easier-to-understand explanation. Also, if you pick a "brainliest" answer, it actually <em>gives </em>you points.

Tamika wants to double the volume of a square pyramid. What should she do?
ella [17]
To efficiently double the volume of a square pyramid, you need to double the height of the pyramid. 

<span>V = (1/3)Ah where A is the area of the base. If you double the height and leave A unchanged, the volume will also be doubled (replace h with 2h in the formula).</span>
