Question

write the expression x^2 / x^-6 as a product of two factors and also as a negative exponent.

Answer 1

Writing the given expression as a product of two factors, we'll have;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x^2}{x^{-6}}=x^2\ast x^6=x^{2+6}=x^8 \\ \end{gathered}$

Now, writing it as a negative exponent, we'll have;
