Answer: m⁰

Given:


m^(-10)\cdot m^(10)

According to the Product rule of exponents:


a^x* a^y=a^(x+y)

Applying this to the given expression and we will get:


\begin{gathered} m^(-10)\cdot m^(10) \\ =m^(-10+10)^{} \\ =m^0=1 \end{gathered}

Since -10 + 10 equals 0, the answer in exponential form would be m⁰.

Note that any number raised to 0 is equal to 1.
