Question

Find the missing term.(x^12)^5 (X^-2)^9 (_____)^__=(x^40)^5

Answer 1

To answer this problem, we can use the power rule such that the result of the operations of the powers on the left side is equal to power on the right side. In this case, the right side's power is 200. On the left side, the tentative sum is 60 - 18 or equal to 42. Thus, the remaining exponent to be added on the left side is 158. Answer is x^158
