could someone help me with math?

Question

Simplify this expression. If the answer contains exponents, all exponents should be positive.

(t^5/t^6)^8

Answer 1

When you divide a similar term with an exponent you simply need to subtract the exponents.

 

This is how it would look written out.

 

t*t*t*t*t/t*t*t*t*t*t if you cross out the same number of (t)s from the top and bottom because anything over itself equals 1 in a fraction you are left with 1/t

 

Next you need to multiply 1/t to itself 8 times.
