Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.2m38m
Write Expression: Write down the given expression.We have the expression 2m38m.
Simplify Coefficients: Simplify the coefficients.Divide the coefficients 8 by 2.28=4
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents.When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents.m1/m3=m(1−3)=m−2
Express with Positive Exponents: Express the answer with positive exponents.Since we need to express the answer with positive exponents, we rewrite m−2 as m21.
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 4.The simplified expression is 4×m21, which can be written as m24.
