solve and leave in exponential form: 3^7 * 3^ -9 =
3^2
3^3
3^-7
3^-2
To solve the expression 3^7 * 3^(-9) and leave in exponential form, we can use the rule of exponents that states:
a^m * a^n = a^(m + n)
Applying this rule to the given expression, we get:
3^7 * 3^(-9) = 3^(7 + (-9))
Simplifying:
3^(-2)
Therefore, the expression 3^7 * 3^(-9) can be written in exponential form as 3^(-2).
What is this the solution as a whole number: 2^2 / 2^-4

To solve the expression 2^2 / 2^(-4) and find the solution as a whole number, we can use the rule of exponents that states:
a^m / a^n = a^(m - n)
Thus, using this rule in the given expression, we have:
2^2 / 2^(-4) = 2^(2 - (-4)) = 2^(2 + 4)
Simplifying:
2^6 = 64
Therefore, the solution to the expression 2^2 / 2^(-4) as a whole number is 64.

4^0 * 5^-2 / (-2)^-3
5/25
-8/25
-25/5
8/25
To simplify the expression 4^0 * 5^-2 / (-2)^-3, we can apply the properties of integer exponents.
First, let's evaluate each term separately:
4^0 = 1 (Any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1)
5^-2 = 1/5^2 = 1/25 (Negative exponent indicates reciprocal)
(-2)^-3 = 1/(-2)^3 = 1/(-8) = -1/8 (Negative exponent indicates reciprocal)
Now we substitute these values back into the original expression:
1 * (1/25) / (-1/8)
To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator:
1 * (1/25) * (-8/-1) = 8/25
Therefore, the simplified answer to the expression 4^0 * 5^-2 / (-2)^-3 is 8/25.

(14^3 * 27^-7)^0 / 3^4
-1/12
-81
1/81
12
To generate equivalent expressions with only positive exponents, we can apply the properties of integer exponents:
First, we can simplify the expression within the parentheses:
14^3 / 27^7 becomes (14^3 / (3^3)^7)
Using the property of exponents (a^m)^n = a^(m*n), we can simplify further:
14^3 / (3^3 * 7)
Next, we can simplify the expression outside of the parentheses:
(14^3 * 27^-7)^0 can be simplified to 1 because any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1.
Now, we can substitute the simplified expressions back into the original expression:
1 / (14^3 / (3^3 * 7) ) * 3^4
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal:
1 * (3^3 * 7) / (14^3) * 3^4
Using the rule of exponents (a^m * a^n = a^(m + n)), we can simplify further:
(3^3 * 7 * 3^4) / (14^3)
Simplifying the numerator:
(27 * 7 * 81) / (14^3) = 15309 / (14^3)
Therefore, the simplified fraction equivalent to the original expression is 15309 / (14^3).
Pick one of the correct answers.
I apologize for the confusion. The simplified fraction equivalent to the original expression is 1/81.
