Math Problem Statement

(m^-3)(2m^-3n^4)(4m)

Solution

Let's break down the expression step by step:

(m3)(2m3n4)(4m)(m^{-3})(2m^{-3}n^4)(4m)

  1. First, simplify the powers of mm:

    (m3)(m3)(m)(m^{-3})(m^{-3})(m)

    When multiplying terms with the same base, you add the exponents:

    m3×m3×m=m3+(3)+1=m5m^{-3} \times m^{-3} \times m = m^{-3 + (-3) + 1} = m^{-5}

  2. Now, simplify the rest of the terms:

    (2n4)(4)(2n^4)(4)

    Multiply the constants:

    2×4=82 \times 4 = 8

    So the expression becomes:

    8n4m58n^4 m^{-5}

The simplified result is:

8m5n48m^{-5}n^4

Final Answer:

8m5n48m^{-5}n^4
