Question

Drawing Conclusions

Answer 1

Answer:

Some of the Exponents = -2 that is true, not 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check one at a time.

(a)The 6 without an exponent is equivalent to the 6 having a 0 exponent.

$6^{0} =1$ and $6^{1}$ = 6 (no exponent. 6 $\neq$ 1 therefore this statement is False.

(b)The sum of the exponents is -2.

let's check , if the base is same we can add the exponents that is the exponent rule.(well established).

if we add exponents in the given expression we get.

$6^{1} 6^{0} 6^{3} =6^{1+0+(-3)} =6^{-2}$, therefore we can see that the sum of the exponents = -2 this is true.

(c) An equivalent expression is 65.6-7, lets evaluate our above expression, it is equal to $\frac{1}{36}$ which we can see that $\frac{1}{36} \neq 65.6-7$ ,therefore this statement is false as well.
