    *10x exponent 3 y times (-2xy eexponent 2)
    *8 exponent 4 over 8 exponent 3
    *10 exponent 10 divided by 10 exponent 2
    that's all and I need them by tonight no later please help!

    Do you mean those:









    If so, then what you do is multiply everything you have no problem with. And when you have multiplications of exponents, you add the exponents.

    For example, the first one.



    Because if you expand the exponents here, what do you get?



    Which makes a total of 7 r's and which mean

    For division, you apply the same concept, but subtract instead of adding. Can you post your answers? :)
