Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number was OUTSIDE the exponents it represents a movement up or down
If the number is inside the parenthesis and exponent ex: (x-1)^2 then it decides a movement on the left or right
However inside the parenthesis it is reversed, so a - is move to the right and a + is moved to the left, this making your answer (x-1)^2

Note that both 5 and 4 are exponents, and their product is 5*4=20, or 4*5=20. Thus,
(3^5)^4 is equal to (3^4)^5
Review:
(a to the power b)to the power c = a to the power bc.
Thus, (3 to the power 5)^4 = 3^20; the same is true if you reverse the positions of the 5 and the 4.
We have that F is proportional to m1. Hence, we have that F=m1*c when we change the first mass. We also have that F=m2*c when we only change the 2nd mass. Since F scales inversely with the square of the distance, we have that

. Combining all of the facts above, we get that F=c*

where c is a constant.
