Communicate Mathematical Ideas Why do you subtract exponents

Mathematics
1 answer:
zysi [14]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

We subtract exponents when diving powers with the same base because they eventually get canceled out when written in expanded form.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if we expand the given fractions:

10^3/10^1 = 1000/10 = 100 = 10^2

Now, if we subtract the exponents we get the same result.

10^3-1 = 10^2

So, a^m/a^n = a^m-

n is one of the exponent rules which saves time and makes calculation easier.

What is the value of n in the equation ?1/2 (n-4)-3=3-(2n+3) <br>N=0 <br>N=2 <br>N=4 <br>N=6
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(n-4) - 3=3- (2n+3)

Expand the brackets.

1/2n-2-3=3-2n-3

Add or subtract the like terms.

1/2n-5=-2n

Add 2n and 5 on both sides.

1/2n+2n=5

Add like terms.

5/2n = 5

Multiply both sides by 2/5.

n = 5 × 2/5

n = 10/5

n = 2

Enter the value of b when the expression 9x + b is equivalent to<br> 3(3x + 1).<br> BE<br> ker notes
qwelly [4]

Answer:

b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other:

First, distribute 3 to all terms within the parenthesis:

3(3x + 1) =

3 * 3x = 9x

3 * 1 =  3

9x + b = 9x + 3

Isolate the variable, b. Subtract 9x from both sides:

9x (-9x) + b = 9x (-9x) + 3

b = 3

3 is your value for b.
