Answer:
C ) 10/m⁵
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we have to find the product of two terms
First term = 5 m⁻²
Second term = 2 m⁻³
Product of both terms = (5 m⁻²) · (2 m⁻³)
The simple way of calculating product of these two term which involves constants as well as variable is that we multiply the constants together:
5·2 = 10
And we multiply the variables. According to the rules of multiplication, when 2 same constants or variables are multiplied, we can just add their powers to get the result.
(m⁻²) · (m⁻³) = m⁻²⁻³ = m⁻⁵
The product of both terms can be written as:
(product of constants)(product of variables) = (10)(m⁻⁵) = 10/m⁵
So the correct option is C
