HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer: Choice C) -3m^12n^6

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients -24 and 8 divide to -24/8 = -3. Based on this alone, the answer is between choices B and C.

The m terms divide to
`(m^5)/(m^(-7)) = m^(5-(-7)) = m^(5+7) = m^(12)`

Notice how I subtracted the exponents. The general rule is
`(a^b)/(a^(c)) = a^(b-c)`

Since we get m^12, this points us to choice C as the final answer

For the sake of completeness, here's what the n terms divide to

`(n^4)/(n^(-2)) = n^(4-(-2)) = n^(4+2) = n^(6)`
