4.6g^-5
how do you do this?
please and thankyou
1. done
2. 1/8^9
3. 1
4. 6/g^5
To write the expressions using only positive exponents, we need to understand the concept of positive and negative exponents.
1. To solve 1.13^6, we already have a positive exponent, so no changes are needed.
2. To solve 8^-9, we have a negative exponent. In this case, we can use the rule that states anything raised to a negative exponent is equal to the reciprocal of the base raised to the corresponding positive exponent. So, 8^-9 can be written as 1/(8^9).
3. To solve xy^0, we have y raised to the exponent 0. Any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, y^0 can be replaced with 1. Thus, the expression becomes x * 1 = x.
4. To solve 6g^-5, we have both a positive exponent for the coefficient 6 and a negative exponent for the variable g. Similar to the second example, we can apply the rule and express g^-5 as 1/(g^5). The expression becomes 6 * 1/(g^5) = 6/(g^5).
So, the expressions with only positive exponents are:
1. 1.13^6
2. 1/(8^9)
3. x
4. 6/(g^5)
