Question

Algebra pls help

Really

Answer 1

Answer: n=-14

Explanation:

CONCEPT:

• When the same-base exponents MULTIPLY= adding the exponents
• When the same-base exponents DIVIDE= subtracting the exponents

SOLVE:

The expression in the questions is
`(x^(3) )(x^(-17))` which is MULTIPLYING, which means we should add the exponents together

`(x^(3) )(x^(-17))`=
`x^n` ⇔ Given

`x^(3+(-17))`=
`x^n` ⇔ Adding Exponents Together

`x^(3-17)`=
`x^n` ⇔ Simplify

`x^(-14)`=
`x^n` ⇔ Simplify

`n`=
`-14` ⇔ Correspondingly

Hope this helps!! :)
