If 6(x) = 6,what does 6(-2x) equal?

Question

If 6^x = 6,what does 6^-2x equal?

Answer 1

6^-2x = 1/6^2x          [negative exponent means inverse]

      = 1/((6^x)(6^x))              [exponent of 2 means squared]

      = ( 1/6^x )( 1/6^x )           [factor the expression]

      = ( 1/6 )( 1/6 )             [given that 6^x = 6]

      = 1/36

Answer 2

ACCORDING TO WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN: 6x=6 so x=1, therefore 6-2x = 4.

 

I suspect that you intended to have some exponents here, but you need to know how to type them properly.
