Question

-(-6/7)x(6/7) what is the correct product

Answer 1

$-( \frac{-6}{7} )* (\frac{6}{7})$

Remove parentheses : (a) = a

$\frac{6}{7} * \frac{6}{7}$

Apply exponent rule : $a^b.a^c = a^{b+c}$

$\frac{6}{7} * \frac{6}{7} = ( \frac{6}{7}) ^{1+1} = (\frac{6}{7} )^{2}$

Apply exponent rule:

$(\frac{a}{b})^c = \frac{a^c}{b^c}$

$\frac{6^2}{7^2} = \frac{36}{49}$

hope this helps!.

Answer 2

-(-6/7)* (6/7)
= (6/7)*(6/7)
= 36/49

The final answer is 36/49~
