simplify and express the answer using positive exponents only m8m-14
Answer to what?
m8m-14 is not a meaningful algebraic expression.
18a^-20/8a^9
18/a^20 8a^9
To simplify the expression m^8 * m^-14, we can use the exponent rule that states m^a * m^b = m^(a+b).
In this case, the expression can be rewritten as m^(8 + (-14)). Since adding a positive and negative exponent is the same as subtracting the two exponents, we have m^(-6).
To express the answer using positive exponents only, we can apply another exponent rule which states that m^(-n) = 1/m^n.
Therefore, m^(-6) can be expressed as 1/m^6. Thus, the simplified and positive exponent form of the expression m^8 * m^(-14) is 1/m^6.
