Question

(m^-1m^5 / m^-2)^-3 What is the simplified form of the expression?

Answer 1

well I'd apply the index laws inside the brackets 1st.

and start with the numerator of the fraction.

for multiplication, add the power

\[x^a \times x^b = x^{a \times b}\]

next you'll need the law for division, subtract the powers

\[\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a - b}\]

then looking at the power of a power, multiply the powers

\[(x^a)^b = x^{a \times b}\]

I hope this helps you get the solution.

thanks

Answer 3

its not a pretty question.... just asks you to use some laws...
