## Tabbiejack Group Title What is the simplified form of the expression? x^8 2y^10 5x^5 one year ago one year ago

1. Tabbiejack Group Title

$x ^{8} 2y ^{10} 5x ^{5}$

you would have $5x^5*x^8*2y^10\rightarrow (5x^13)(2y^10)$ x^5*x^8=x^13 that is how i got x^13 then just put everything back together and you get 5x^13*2y^10

5. galacticwavesXX Group Title

forgot to multiply the coefficients so you would get 10x^13*y^10

oh thanks I am trying to understand it a little is coming back thanks for explaining

7. Tabbiejack Group Title

here is another

8. galacticwavesXX Group Title

welcome anytime just remember that coefficients you multiply and variable with powers you add

What is the simplified form of the expression?|dw:1369536827542:dw|

10. galacticwavesXX Group Title

so we have $k^3(k^\frac{ 7 }{ 3 })^-5 \rightarrow (k^\frac{ 16 }{ 3 })^-5$ so we have [k^(16/3)]^-5

11. Tabbiejack Group Title

that is not an option

12. galacticwavesXX Group Title

im not done im just seeing if i did it correctly but what are the options because i have a possible answer?

13. Tabbiejack Group Title

o ok

14. galacticwavesXX Group Title

can i see what are the possible answers?

16. galacticwavesXX Group Title

whattt....for the problem itself is the k^3*(k^7/3)^-5 ? cause i got a totally different answer

17. galacticwavesXX Group Title

for the problem you wrote down are we trying to simplify k^3*(k^7/3)^-5 ? or did i get it wrong because none of the answers you posted did i get

18. Tabbiejack Group Title

no that is right
