Math Problem Statement

\frac{m^{5}\cdot m^{6}}{m^{4}}

Solution

The expression you've provided is m5m6m4\frac{m^{5} \cdot m^{6}}{m^{4}}. To simplify this expression, you can use the properties of exponents.

Step 1: Simplify the numerator

First, apply the product of powers property, which states that when multiplying two exponents with the same base, you add the exponents:

m5m6=m5+6=m11m^{5} \cdot m^{6} = m^{5+6} = m^{11}

Step 2: Simplify the fraction

Next, simplify the fraction by applying the quotient of powers property, which states that when dividing two exponents with the same base, you subtract the exponents:

m11m4=m114=m7\frac{m^{11}}{m^{4}} = m^{11-4} = m^{7}

So, the simplified expression is:

m7m^{7}

  5. How would the expression change if the exponents were negative, such as m3m5m2\frac{m^{-3} \cdot m^{5}}{m^{-2}}?

Tip: When working with exponents, remember that adding and subtracting exponents only applies when the bases are the same.
