You can use the fact that  a number raised to negative powers can be written as 1 divided by that number raised to positive number.

The value of the given expression when m = -5 and n= 3 is -\dfrac{2}{5}

<h3>How can we rewrite a number raised to negative power?</h3>

Suppose we've got a^{-b} . then it can be rewritten as

a^{-b}  = \dfrac{1}{a^b}

It is because a^0 = 1 for any a except 0, and that  \dfrac{a^0}{a^b} = a^{0-b} = a^{-b}

If base are same and there is multiplication, then there will be addition in power.

Also, know the fact that if base are same and there is division, there will be subtraction in power(subtracting since that denominator when goes up, its power gets negated(gets negative sign to the existing power)

Thus,

a^b \timesa ^c = a^{b+c}\\\\\dfrac{a^b}{a^c} = a^{b-c}

<h3>Using above method to simplify the given expression before evaluating</h3>

The given expression is \dfrac{2m^{-1}n^5}{3m^0n^4} = \dfrac{2n^5}{3m^0m^1n^4} = \dfrac{2n^5}{3mn^4} = \dfrac{2n^{5-4}}{3m} = \dfrac{2n^1}{3m} = \dfrac{2n}{3m}

Putting m = -5 and n=3, we get:

\dfrac{2\times 3}{3 \times -5} = -\dfrac{2}{5}

Thus,

The value of the given expression when m = -5 and n= 3 is -\dfrac{2}{5}

Hi May I know how to solve this with step by step explanation please
trapecia [35]

Answer:

13.33 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, ratio of volumes v ÷ V = 8 ÷ 27

This ratio is applicable to heights of same containers, as the volume is directly proportional with height (V=Ah, A- base, h- height)

So we have:

  • h ÷ H = 8 ÷ 27

and

  • H=45 cm

Then,

  • h ÷ 45 = 8 ÷ 27
  • h = 45 × 8/27
  • h = 40/3 = 13.33 cm
