Question

Write x^2 / x^-6 as a product of two factors and as a negative exponent also.

Answer 1

The expression is:

`(x^2)/(x^(-6))`

And for the properties of the exponents we can rewritte the equation for:

`(x^2)/(x^(-6))=x^2\cdot x^6`

and if we simplify it:

`x^2\cdot x^6=x^8`

In negative exponets would be like:

`(x^2)/(x^(-6))=(1)/(x^(-2)x^(-6))=(1)/(x^(-8))`
