Question

How do you simplify `e^-2*e^6`?

Answer 1

`e^(-2) * e^(6) = e^4`

Explanation:

We can use the law of exponents to simplify this expression.

Note that `a^n * a^m = a^(m+n)`

In this case, we do the same:

`e^(-2) * e^(6) = e^(-2+6) = e^4`

If you like, you can think of `e^(-2)` as `1/e^(2)`.

Alternatively you can write `e^(6) / e^(2) = e^4`
