Answer:
First picture: -4,913
Second picture: 20.25
Step-by-step explanation:
-17^5/-17^2 = -17^3
-17 × -17 × -17 = -4913
4.5^5/4.5^3 = 4.5^2
4.5 × 4.5 = 20.25
Do you see how I had the same whole number on the top and bottom? (17 was on top and 17 was on bottom)
The exponents were those tiny numbers you saw.
Whenever you are dividing by the same whole number (-17/-17), you can subtract exponents.
When you multiply the same whole number, you can add the exponents.
Hope this helps! Best of luck :)
