Question

m^x+y / m^x-y

Answer 1

Is it \[\large\cfrac{m^{x+y}}{m^{x-y}}\]

Answer 2

yeah

Answer 3

This would result in \[\large m^{(x+y)-(x-y)}\] Can you evaluate this?

Answer 4

sorry im abit confused how to get m(x+y)-(x-Y)

Answer 5

ohh nevermind I got it !:)

Answer 6

Awesome :D

Answer 7

What did you get as your answer? :)

Answer 8

im not sure if this right but I distributed the m and got mx+my-mx-my

Answer 9

just distribute the negative sign to (x-y)

Answer 10

m(x+y)-x+y ? is that right

Answer 11

\[\huge m^{(x+y)-(x-y)} = m^{x+y-x+y}\]

Answer 12

Yes you are right :)

Answer 13

Now simplify the exponent and combine like-terms :P

Answer 14

mx^2y^2?

Answer 15

Close! \[\huge m^{2y}\]

Answer 16

The x's canceleachother out and you're left with \(\large m^{1y+1y} = m^{2y}\)

Answer 17

ohh oops I thought both the x's were positive :P Thank you soso much for your help :D

Answer 18

No problem :D
