Question

Which shows the following expression after the negative exponents have been eliminated?xytx+0.0O2yºyº16,6Oyysу? хув.Xy²

Answer 1

Option B is correct.

`(xx^4)/(y^6y^2)`

Step-by-step explanation

- When a variable is raised to the power of a negative number, this is the same as 1 over that variable raised to the positive value of that power

- When the same variable, carrying different powers are multiplied with each other, then, the result is that same variable raised to the power of the sum of the two powers from before multiplication.

So, we will simplify the expression given

`\begin{gathered} (xy^(-6))/(x^(-4)y^2) \\ =((x)/(y^6))/((y^2)/(x^4)) \\ =(x)/(y^6)/(y^2)/(x^4) \\ =(x)/(y^6)*(x^4)/(y^2) \\ =(xx^4)/(y^6y^2) \end{gathered}`

Hope this Helps!!!
