Question

What is the simplified form of -24m^5n^4/8m^-7n^-2. assume m and n are equal to zero

Answer 1

The answer would be C. ok beautiful

Answer 2

Answer:

-3m^12n^6

Step-by-step explanation:

-24m^5n^4/8m^-7n^-2

$\frac{-24m^5n^4}{8m^-7n^-2}$

To simplify this expression we apply exponential property

a^m / a^n = a^m-n

When the exponents are in division then we subtract the exponents

-24/ 8 = -3

m^5 / m^-7 = m^(5-(-7))= m^12

n^4 / n^-2= n^(4-(-2))= n^6

Write all the terms together

-3m^12n^6
