Chapter 4.6, Problem 11C

To determine

To find the product of $m^{-3}·m^{-1}$ using positive exponents.

Answer to Problem 11C

  $\frac{1}{m^4}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: $m^{-3}·m^{-1}$

Formula used:The product of powers rule.

Calculation:

  $m^{-3}·m^{-1}$

  $=m^{-3-1}$

  $=m^{-4}$

  $=\frac{1}{m^4}$ This has the positive exponents
