write the missing exponent. 1/169 = (1/13)

write the missing exponent. 1/169 = (1/13) class=

Verified Answer :

Answer is 2 because 13 times 13 is 169

Answer:

\(\frac{1^2}{13^2}=(\frac{1}{13})^{2}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation \(\frac{1}{169}=(\frac{1}{13})^{*}\). We are asked to write the missing exponent for our given equation.

We can see that 169 is square of 13, so we can write left side of our equation as:

\(\frac{1}{13^2}=(\frac{1}{13})^{*}\)

We can raise 1 to any power and answer will be same.

Raising 1 to 2nd power, we will get:

\(\frac{1^2}{13^2}=(\frac{1}{13})^{*}\)

Since both numerator and denominator is raised to 2nd power, so we can raise \((\frac{1}{13})\) to 2nd power as:

\(\frac{1^2}{13^2}=(\frac{1}{13})^{2}\)

Therefore, our missing exponent is 2.
