Question

Need help ASAP. Last two problems on my study guide, can't seem to solve them?

Answer 1

Answer:

9) 4

10) p¹⁵/q⁹        

Step-by-step explanation:

9)

As per the law of indices, (xᵃ)ᵇ=xᵃᵇ.

So divide 8 by 2 to get 4

10)

p(p⁻⁷q³)⁻²q⁻³

p(p¹⁴q⁻⁶)q⁻³       (because (xᵃ)ᵇ=xᵃᵇ)

pq⁻³(p¹⁴q⁻⁶)

p¹⁵q⁻⁹

p¹⁵/q⁹                (because x⁻ᵃ =1 /xᵃ)
