Question

What is a correct way to rewrite p m p n pmpn ?

Answer 1

`p^(4)m^(2) n^(2)`

Explanation:

Observe that the given expression is about products, where we have variable
`p` four times,
`m` twice and
`n` also twice.

Now, we need to use the property
`x^(m) x^(n)= x^(m+n)`.

So, using the property, the given expression can be
`p^(4)m^(2) n^(2)`

Notice that the repetition of variables is expressed as exponent, mantaining the same base.

Answer 2

`p^(4)`
`m^(2)`
`n^(2)`

Explanation:

collect like terms and multiply

(p×p×p×p)×(m×m)×(n×n)
