Solution - Power equations

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "^-8" was replaced by "^(-8)".

(2): "3.6" was replaced by "(36/10)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

(10)^-8 = (2•5)^(-8) = (2)^(-8) • (5)^(-8)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  36
  —— • ((2)(-8)•(5)(-8))
  10

Step  2  :

            18
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  18
  —— • ((2)(-8)•(5)(-8))
  5 

Step  3  :

Multiplying exponents :

 3.1    5¹  multiplied by  5⁸   = 5^{(1 + 8)} = 5⁹

Dividing exponents :

 3.2    2¹   divided by   2⁸   = 2^{(1 - 8)} = 2^(-7) = ¹/_2⁷

Final result :

     9                                     
  ——————— = 3.60000 • 10-8
