Thanks for requesting me!
Yes, I can write up new examples for you.
Please post your classmate's answers, so I can respond them.
Thanks,
Scott
Thanks, I don't have any of the class's resonses yet, but I need examples and one expression for me to give to my class to solve, plus the other part of this question that I previously asked in my last post.
Thanks
Here you go:
First law:Law for dividing exponents with like bases. If you have two exponents with the same base, and you want to divide them, you subtract the exponents.Example:x^a / x^b = x^(a-b)With numbers:x^8 / x^4 = x^(8-4) = x^4
Second law:Law for multiplying exponents with like bases. If you have two exponents with the same base, and you want to multiply them, you add the exponents.Example:x^a * x^b = x^(a+b)With numbers:x^8 * x^4 = x^(8+4) = x^12
These laws work the same way with rational exponents.Here is an example for the classmates:8^(8/7) / 8^(1/7)
Solution:= 8^(8/7 - 1/7)= 8^1= 8
Let me know if you have any questions, and if you're all set, thanks for accepting,Scott
