OpenStudy (anonymous):

what am i supposed to do here? i do not get the direction. \[m ^{-5}n ^{0}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm is this all its given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what \(n^0\) is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is just one of the questions. and satelite73 i think it is one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if so we know everything to the power of 0 is just 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is one you are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you really have \(m^{-5}\) do you know what the negative exponent means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. isnt it 1/m\[^{5}\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/m 5 times? multiplying?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

assuming you meant \(\frac{1}{m^5}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[b^{-n}=\frac{1}{b^n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes is that it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is all you can do, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
