Example Question #145 : Multiplying And Dividing Exponents

Simplify: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Although the exponents have different bases, we know that . Therefore we can rewrite as 

Example Question #149 : Multiplying And Dividing Exponents

Simplify: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Although the bases are not the same, we know that . We will base our answers in base of  since this is present in all the choices. Therefore:   Now we add the exponents and then subtract them.

Example Question #150 : Multiplying And Dividing Exponents

Divide:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to divide, we will first need to change the bases of both terms.

Both terms can be rewritten as base five.

Now that bases are common, we can subtract the powers and the base will be left unchanged.

The answer is:  

Example Question #951 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs

Evaluate: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When multiplying exponents, we just add the exponents and keep the base the same.

Example Question #952 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When multiplying exponents, we just add the exponents and keep the base the same.

Example Question #953 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs

Simplify: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When dividing exponents, we just subtract the exponents and keep the base the same.

Example Question #954 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs

Simplify: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When dividing exponents, we just subtract the exponents and keep the base the same.

Example Question #155 : Multiplying And Dividing Exponents

Solve the exponents:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To simplify, we will need to convert all bases to a common base to apply exponent properties.

We can rewrite each term using the powers of two.

Simplify the exponents.  Since powers of same bases are multiplied, the powers can be added.

The answer is:  

Example Question #156 : Multiplying And Dividing Exponents

Divide:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Simplify the negative exponents by rewriting the terms as fractions.

Divide the complex fractions.

Reduce this fraction.

The answer is:  

Example Question #157 : Multiplying And Dividing Exponents

Divide the exponents:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Change the base of the numerator and denominator.

They both can be rewritten as a base of two.

Since the bases are similar, we can subtract the exponents.

The answer is:
