The expression written as a product is:
[tex](-4.5)^6*(-4.5)^{-2}[/tex]
And written as a power:
[tex](-4.5)^4[/tex]
How to rewrite the expression?
Here we need to remember the two rules:
[tex]a^n = \frac{1}{a^{-n}}[/tex]
[tex]a^n*a^m = a^{n + m}[/tex]
Using the first one, we can write the quotient as a product:
[tex]\frac{(-4.5)^6}{(-4.5)^2} = (-4.5)^6*(-4.5)^{-2}[/tex]
Now we can use the second property to write the expression as a single power, we will get:
[tex]\frac{(-4.5)^6}{(-4.5)^2} = (-4.5)^6*(-4.5)^{-2} = (-4.5)^{6 - 2} = (-4.5)^4[/tex]
