Question

Find the missing factor. Write your answer in
exponential form.
6^-8 = blank 6^7

Answer 1

6^ (-15) = x

Explanation:

6^-8 = blank 6^7

6^-8 = x* 6^7

Divide each side by 6^7

6^-8 / 6^7 = x 6^7 / 6^7

6^-8 / 6^7 = x

Since the bases are the same, we can subtract the exponents

6^ ( -8-7) = x

6^ (-15) = x
