Question

Tyrone claims that the first step to simplify this expression

Answer 1

Answer:

1/(m^4*n^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

(m^2*n^-3)/(m^6*n^-1)

Tyrone's approach.

Raising the expression to the 3rd power will not help. It will make the expression more complicated.

Alisha's approach.

(m^2*n^-2)/(m^6*n^-1)

= m^(2-6)*n^(-3+1)

= m^-4*n^-2

= 1/(m^4*n^2)

Alisha's approach will simplify the expression to 1/(m^4*n^2
