We can see that the graph touches
without crossing the x-axis (i.e. it is a double solution), and then there's another zero at
(this time it's a crossing zero, so a single solution).
This leads, up to multiple, to the polynomial

If we impose the passing through
we have

So, the polynomial is

Finally, to solve
, simply look at the graph, searching for the points, where the graph is below the x-axis. You can see that this happens only if
, so that's the solution to your question.
Answer:
B. 1/m¹⁸
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify the equation, we start with the values inside the brackets.
Therefore m⁻¹m⁵ results to m⁴.
This is because the sign between the m⁻¹ and m⁵ is multiplication, and when multiplying figures that have a similar base, we add the indices.
that is, -1+5=4
then we divide m⁴ by m⁻², that is, m⁴/m⁻²=m⁶
To divide figures that have the same base we subtract the powers.
That is, 4-(-2)=6
the resulting expression from inside the brackets will be (m⁶)³ which results to m⁻¹⁸ which is the same as 1/m¹⁸
