Solution - Power equations

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "^-17" was replaced by "^(-17)".

(2): "3.75" was replaced by "(375/100)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

(10)^-17 = (2•5)^(-17) = (2)^(-17) • (5)^(-17)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  375
  ——— • ((2)(-17)•(5)(-17))
  100

Step  2  :

            15
 Simplify   ——
            4 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  15
  —— • ((2)(-17)•(5)(-17))
  4 

Step  3  :

Multiplying exponents :

 3.1    2²  multiplied by  2¹⁷   = 2^{(2 + 17)} = 2¹⁹

Dividing exponents :

 3.2    5¹   divided by   5¹⁷   = 5^{(1 - 17)} = 5^(-16) = ¹/_5¹⁶

Final result :

      3                                       
  ————————— = 3.75000 • 10-17 
  (219•516)
