. Express each exponent in expanded form: StartFraction 6 times 6 times 6 times 6 times 6 times 6 times 6 Over 6 times 6 times 6 times 6 EndFraction 2. Divide common factors: StartFraction 6 times 6 times 6 times 6 times 6 times 6 times 6 Over 6 times 6 times 6 times 6 EndFraction. 4 sixes in the numerator and denominator are crossed out. What is the exponent of the simplified power?

The exponent of the simplified power is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 / 6 × 6 × 6 × 6

Dividing common factors ( cancel out 4 6's in the Numerator and Denominator

= 6 × 6 × 6 / 1

= 6^3 /1

= 6^3

The exponent of the simplified power is 3

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
