Question

What is the simplified form of the expression?
I'm getting confused here.

Answer 1

simplify the stuff inside the parentheses before you deal with the parentheses and the -3

Answer 2

i would rather distribute first.

Answer 3

(m^-1)*(m^5) = m^(5-1) = m^4

Answer 4

1/(m^-2) = m^2

so now you have

(m^4)*(m^2) = m^(4+2) = ?

Answer 5

how do I multiply the two "m" if they both have an exponent?

Answer 6

oh!
add?
m^6?

Answer 7
