Exercise 67 Page 431

What does the Negative Exponent Property say?

4n^2/m

Practice makes perfect

To simplify the given exponential expression, we will use the Negative Exponent Property.

Negative Exponent Property
a^(-n)=1/a^n, for every nonzero number a and integer n.

Let's try to simplify the given expression using this property.

4* m^(-1)* n^2

NegOneExponentToFrac

a^(- 1)=1/a

4* 1/m * n^2

MoveLeftFacToNumOne

a* 1/b= a/b

4/m* n^2

MoveRightFacToNum

a/c* b = a* b/c

4n^2/m
