    Here the numerator works out to be 3. The denominator works out to be 27. You divide 3 by 27 or 1 by 9, as it is the same thing, and you reach your happiness easy with no stress. 0.111……

      yeah, I am guessing by your comment the multiple choice aspect? Because otherwise I guess maybe that is an American thing? (We very rarely have multiple choice in math and if we do you have to show it line by line nothing in your head and if there is a step missing on paper or you showed a multiplication sign instead of an X variable, but you knew in your head what it was... guess what, it is wrong. No such thing as partially right answers)

      @@bigdog3628 No, It is not the multiple choice aspect. I was making reference to a math teacher that I had when I was in the 12th grade. She was very bad at explaining. That made things difficult. I think that John's explanations are great. I like his style. Later I had really great teachers when I was studying aeronautical engineering. Good teachers make a difference.

    I simply subtracted the exponents in the numerator to get 3 and mentally calculated the denominator to get 27. Then reduced.

    three parts:
    1:) Top is (1/3)9 which is 3. (first number is flipped due to the negative exponent, second number isn't but ONLY because it is a division as well as a negative exponent. x divided by Y is the same as x times 1 over y)
    2:) Bottom is 3x9 which is 27 (you square the second 3 before multiplying by the first 3)
    3:) Final step take the 3 from step one and the reciprocal of 27 from step 2. Which is then 3(1/27) which then equals (1/9) or choice D as it is multiple choice.
    in the length of time it took to type all this I was able to do the problem in my head 30 times. I am a slow typer though.

    Excellent marcus. The 3 in the numerator cancel 3 in denominator.

  • @joseeoliviero6078
    @joseeoliviero6078 22 дні тому

    Even easier using the power rule & changing the top half to multiplication 3^-1 x 3^2 = 3.
    Then you can easily see that 3 cancelling with 3 on the bottom leaving you with 1/3^2 (the answer)

    Numerator: 3^(-1) / 3^(-2) = 3² / 3¹ = 3 and denominator: 3 x 3² = 27 so the fraction is 3/27 = 1/9 tadaaaa!

    @stevewthespider 22 дні тому

    [3^(-1) /3^(-2)] = {3^[-1 - (-2)]} = 3^(-1 + 2) = 3^1 = 3 top solved that leaves us with 3/(3 * 3^2) 3's cancel leaving us with 1/(3^2) = 1/9
    Subtracting the exponents I find easier than your explanation.

  • @johnnyragadoo2414

    Nice review of negative exponents, but not how I would solve this. For the numerator, given the common base, divide by subtracting the exponents. -1 - -2 is one, so the numerator is 3^1 or just 3.
    The denominator also has common bases, so add the exponents to multiply. 1 plus 2 is 3, so the denominator is 3^3.
    Now, divide 3^1 by 3^3 by subtracting exponents, 1 minus 3, yielding 3^-2. That eliminates the fraction.
    Finally, apply the inverse rule if you want, changing 3^-2 to 1/3^2 or 1/9. If 3^-2 were in the choices, that seems like it would be a valid answer.
    Easy enough paper and pencil isn't required.
    Here's another fun mechanism. A number to a negative power is the inverse of the number to the positive power, but that's a limited view.
    The general rule is a number to any power, positive or negative (even the zero power, if minus zero doesn't bother you) equals one over the same number to the opposite sign power.
    3^5 = 1/3^-5 just like 3^-5=1/3^5.
