so basically, \[m^{3n^{2}}+m^{2n^{5}}\] hmm, well no matter what the exponent, m will have the sign of itself. That is, if m is positive by itself, then the terms will be positive; if m is negative by itself the terms will be negative.

I'm not sure that's the entire question. Why are the answers in "yes/no" format?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry! These are the correct ones: A. m = –2, n = –2 B. m = 3, n = –1 C. m = 1, n = –2 D. m = –3, n = –5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha ok, this looks better. well, looks like my previous explanation eliminates A. and D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You sure you aren't missing a negative symbol in the answers? or missed a condition in the question (something like "the binomial must be greater than 1")? 'cause if you plug in both B. and C., they both work...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sure those are the correct answers.

hmm, sorry I couldn't be of much help then Maybe you could post it up again?
