Can someone explain the answers because I need to do corrections and I don't know math
1. Which exponent makes the statement true? 1/5^9 = 5^?
a. 9
b. -9
c. 1/9
d. - 1/9
2. y^5 x y^14 =
a. 2y^19
b. y^60
c. y^19
d. 2y^60
3. w^12/w^18 =
a. w^30
b. w^-30
c. w^6
d. w^-6
5. 5^5/5^2 =
a. 5^1
b. 5^2
c. 5^3
d. 5^4
Remember your basic rules for exponents.
1/a^n = a^-n
a^m * a^n = a^(m+n)
a^m / a^n = a^(m-n)
Now apply them to these simple problems.
