Question

Can someone please help me.... simplify. no exponents (m−5)10

Answer 1

Distributive property of multiplication?

Answer 2

uh?

Answer 3

(m-5) * 10 correct?

Answer 4

that is the same as (m*10) - (5 * 10)

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

you have to add

Answer 7

Sum/difference of two numbers time a third is the same as the first # times the third add/subtract the second times the third

Answer 8

the problem is (m ^negative5)10

Answer 9

oh

Answer 10

\[(m ^{-5})^{10}\]

Answer 11

like that?

Answer 12

or is it like \[(m ^{-5})10\]

Answer 13

like the first one

Answer 14

oh ok
well there are a whole set of rules with exponents

Answer 15

but for this equation, there are rules about exponents being multiplied when it's like that

Answer 16

yes I know about the product rule, etc but see we haven't had an example like this one thou

Answer 17

it's like \[m ^{-5} \times m ^{-5} \times m ^{-5} \times m ^{-5} \times m ^{-5} \times m ^{-5} \times m ^{-5} \times m ^{-5} \times m ^{-5} \times m ^{-5}\]

Answer 18

ohhh pretty much 10 times

Answer 19

yeah you multiply the exponents

Answer 20

but what it means when it saids no exponents tho

Answer 21

so I will multiply 58585....10 times

Answer 22

opsss 5*5*5*, I meant

Answer 23

well you can't really get an answer without exponents

Answer 24

unless you know m

Answer 25

so you can't simplify this problem

Answer 26

unless it literally means.. you will just write.. m fifty times

Answer 27

lol I understand

Answer 28

thank you sooooo much, this problems are very tricky

Answer 29

\[\frac{ 1 }{ m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m \times m}\]
