Solution - Power equations

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "^-15" was replaced by "^(-15)".

(2): "7.2" was replaced by "(72/10)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

(10)^-15 = (2•5)^(-15) = (2)^(-15) • (5)^(-15)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  72
  —— • ((2)(-15)•(5)(-15))
  10

Step  2  :

            36
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  36
  —— • ((2)(-15)•(5)(-15))
  5 

Step  3  :

Multiplying exponents :

 3.1    5¹  multiplied by  5¹⁵   = 5^{(1 + 15)} = 5¹⁶

Dividing exponents :

 3.2    2²   divided by   2¹⁵   = 2^{(2 - 15)} = 2^(-13) = ¹/_2¹³

Final result :

      9                                       
  ————————— = 7.20000 • 10-15 
  (516•213)
