Q. The expression (m(31)m2)−(21) is equivalent to(1) −1m5(2) 6m51(3) −m5m(4) 3m1
Simplify Inside Parentheses: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.We have the expression ((m2)/(m(1)/(3)))−(1)/(2). To simplify the expression inside the parentheses, we use the property of exponents that states when dividing like bases, we subtract the exponents.So, (m2)/(m(1)/(3))=m2−1/3=m6/3−1/3=m5/3.
Apply Negative Exponent: Apply the negative exponent outside the parentheses.Now we have (m5/3)−(1)/(2). A negative exponent means we take the reciprocal of the base. Therefore, we have (m5/3)−(1)/(2)=(1/(m5/3))1/2.
Simplify Fractional Exponent: Simplify the expression with the fractional exponent.We have (1/(m5/3))1/2. When we raise a power to a power, we multiply the exponents. So, we get 1/(m5/3⋅1/2)=1/(m5/6).
Use Radical Notation: Write the expression using radical notation.The expression m651 can be written in radical notation as 6m51.
Match with Options: Match the expression to the given options.The expression (1)/(6m5) matches option (2).
