Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents. 7m7m8
Write Expression: Write down the given expression.The given expression is 7m7m8. We need to simplify this expression by dividing the terms.
Divide Coefficients and Variables: Divide the coefficients and the variables separately.Since the coefficients are the same 77, they will divide out to 1. For the variables, we use the property of exponents that states when dividing like bases, you subtract the exponents.\frac{\(7\)m^\(8\)}{\(7\)m} = \left(\frac{\(7\)}{\(7\)}\right) \times \left(\frac{m^\(8\)}{m^\(1\)}\right)
Simplify Coefficients and Exponents: Simplify the coefficients and apply the exponent rule.\(\newline(77) simplifies to 1, and for the variables, we subtract the exponents: 8−1=7.So, 7m7m8=1×m(8−1)=m7
Final Simplified Expression: Write the final simplified expression.The final simplified expression is m7.
