Question

Simplify m^2 n^-5/m^1 n^-17

Answer 1

Answer:

The simplified form is $mn^{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression given we, need to open up all the brackets.

The brackets is open is such a way that the powers are also separated individually.

Now the expression that is given to us is:

Here we will simplify it, as follows:

$\frac{m^2 n^{-5}}{m^1 n^{-17}}\\=\frac{mn^{-5}}{n^{-17}}$

as we know that:

$\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$

Now, the expression is simplified as:

$\frac{n^{-5}}{n^{-17}}\\=n^{-5-\left(-17\right)}\\=mn^{12}$

So this is the required simplified form.
