divide ans simplify x^6/-2squared?

Question

x^6/x-^2

Answer 1

A number raised to a negative exponent is the same as 1/that number to a positive exponent. So x^-2 = 1/x^2. That makes the expression x^6/ (1/x^2).

To divide by a fraction, invert and multiply. So the expression can be rewritten as x^6*x^2.

To multiply two of the same number raised to different exponents, add the exponents together. So the final answer is x^8.

Answer 2

x^6/x-^2
= x^6 * x^2 = x^8

Answer 3

x^8
