A

Less than 1 (<1)

18

b) less than 1 (<1)

A

Greater than 1 (>1)

20
Q

The bigger the exponent, the ______ the fraction (since you’re dividing by a larger number).

A

The bigger the exponent, the** smaller** the fraction (since you’re dividing by a larger number).

21
Q

Negative exponents: The _____ the denominator the smaller the overall value

A

Negative exponents: The larger the denominator the smaller the overall value

22
Q

Negative exponents: The smaller the denominator the ____ the overall value

A

Negative exponents: The smaller the denominator the **larger **the overall value

23
Q

The smaller the exponent, the ________ the fraction (since you’re dividing by a smaller number).

A

The smaller the exponent, the ** larger** the fraction (since you’re dividing by a smaller number).

24
Q
A

D

Answer A would be neg because neg sign is applied last
Answer C negative because any neg number raised to an odd power remains neg
Other three answers are positive so eliminate a and c for now
Answer B has a negative exponent so the base 6 will turn into a fraction less than 1
Likewise, answer E will give a fraction less than 1.
B > E because it has a smaller denominator value meaning a greater overall value
Smaller denominator value means greater overall value!
Answer D is a neg number raised to an even power so it becomes positive
The power itself is positive so the answer will be greater than 1 and therefore larger than B and E

Q

This can also be rewritten as

A

Use the neg exponent rule to make the exponent positive and 1 / the og fraction!
