OpenStudy (faiqraees):
are you sure you have given us the correct question?
OpenStudy (garretttyre05):
there i edited it
OpenStudy (faiqraees):
is it p-^m or p^-m
OpenStudy (garretttyre05):
\[p^{-m} \div p^{n}\]

\[\large\rm a^x / a^y = a^{x-y} \]
Use the formula
OpenStudy (garretttyre05):
so B?
OpenStudy (garretttyre05):
because you would change it to multiplication
OpenStudy (garretttyre05):
@FaiqRaees
OpenStudy (faiqraees):
No not b.

p^−m÷p^n = p^(-m-....?)
OpenStudy (garretttyre05):
im confused
OpenStudy (faiqraees):
lets suppose x = -m and y = n
Now substitute these values in the equation I gave
OpenStudy (garretttyre05):
\[p ^{m} \div p ^{n}=p ^{m-n}\]
OpenStudy (faiqraees):
substitute in the equation I gave you. The one which had a's in it

\[A ^{M} \div A ^{N}=A ^{M-N}\]
OpenStudy (garretttyre05):
So the answer is C
OpenStudy (faiqraees):
p^−m÷p^n
a^x ÷ a^y = a^(x-y)
x = -m y = n
a^(-m) ÷ a^n = a^((-m)-n)
OpenStudy (garretttyre05):
C? @FaiqRaees
OpenStudy (faiqraees):
can you please mention the options more correctly
