Answer:

m = 5

n = 2

c = 7

Explanation:

Use the property of degrees (when dividing two same based numbers with different degree indicators, the degree indicators are subtracted)


\frac{ {9}^( - 3) }{ {9}^(2) } = \frac{1}{ {9}^(m) }


{9}^( - 3 - 2) = {9}^( - 5)


{9}^( - 5) = \frac{1}{ {9}^(m) }

If the degree indicator is negative, the number is written as a fraction (1 in the numerator) and the degree indicator is raised to the denominator with a positive sign:

m = 5

.


\frac{ {x}^( - 4) }{ {x}^( - 6) } = {x}^(n)


{x}^( - 4 - ( - 6) ) = {x}^( - 4 + 6) = {x}^(2)

n = 2

.


\frac{ ({ - 11})^(7) }{ ( { - 11})^(0) } = ( { - 11})^(c)

Raising any number to the zero power makes it one


\frac{ ({ - 11})^(7) }{1} = ({ - 11})^(c)

When dividing by 1, the number does not change


( { - 11})^(7) = ({ - 11})^(c)

c = 7
