Solution - Power equations

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

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

(2): "1.6" was replaced by "(16/10)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

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

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  16
  —— • ((2)(-8)•(5)(-8))
  10

Step  2  :

            8
 Simplify   —
            5

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  8
  — • ((2)(-8)•(5)(-8))
  5

Step  3  :

Multiplying exponents :

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

Dividing exponents :

 3.2    2³   divided by   2⁸   = 2^{(3 - 8)} = 2^(-5) = ¹/_2⁵

Final result :

     1                                     
  ——————— = 1.60000 • 10-8
