Write (18^2)^-3 using positive exponents only.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two exponents here, 2 and -3, the rule for when there is an exponent inside and outside parenthesis shows that you must multiply both exponents together.

(18^2)^-3

(2 * -3)

-6

18^-6

Now that we have one exponent, it is still negative however, the rule for changing a negative exponent to a positive exponent is to make the expression a fraction, putting 1 as the numerator and the number along with the exponent as the denominator, which in this case is 18^6

Our final expression should be

or if you want to solve the exponent

horizontal translation of 2 units in the positive x direction

followed by

vertical translation of 3 units in the positive y direction

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
