Question

What is p−m ⋅ pn equal to

Answer 1

Are -m and n exponents?

Answer 2

\(\Large p^{-m} \cdot p^n\)

Answer 3

If so, then to multiply powers with the same base, give the same base and add the exponents.

Answer 4

The rule is:

\(\Large a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n} \)

Answer 5

I did some and Got b

Answer 6

You didn't post the choices, so I don't know if b is correct.

Answer 7

What is p−m ⋅ pn equal to?

p−m − n
p−m • n
p−m ÷ n
p−m + n

Answer 8

Answer 9

You need to add the exponents.
The exponents are -m and n.
The sum of -m and n is:
-m + n
The answer is:

\(\large p^{-m + n} \)

Answer 10

So D

Answer 11

Correct.
In choice b, they multiplied the exponents. That is not correct for this problem.

Answer 12

D is the answer.
