Question

What is an expression equivalent to m^238/m^-79 in the form m^v, where v is an integer?

Answer 1

`m^(317)`

Explanation:

In indices, the division postulate is true:

`(a^m)/(a^n) = a^(m-n)`

Apply this to the question:

`(m^(238))/(m^(-79)) \\= m^(238-(-79))\\= m ^(238+79)\\= m^(317)`

Hence the expression expressed in the form
`m^v \ is \ m^(317)`
