Explain why statement 3^(-2)=-6 is false

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: You are not doing 3(-2) to get -6. That's incorrect. What you are supposed to do is multiply the base which is 3 and then multiply it with -2 so that would 3(3) twice and don't forget the negative in front of the two so that would be -9 as the correct answer. :)

Answer:

10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

= 4 + 7.8 - 1.2

Simplify 5 to the negative 4th power over 5 to the 3rd. Group of answer choices 57 5−1 1 over 5 1 over 5 to the 7th power

STatiana [176]

When you divide exponents, you have to subtract them. So -4-3= -7 as the exponent

When you have a negative exponent, then you have to flip the fraction (all whole numbers are over 1 so flip the 1 to the top and the 5^7 on the bottom)
