Question

Determine p in(-2)'5×(-2)'7×=(-2)'p

Answer 1

Answer:

SOLUTION

●●●●●●●●●●●●

(-2)^5 * (-2)^7 = (-2)p

(-2) ^(5+7) = (-2)p

(-2)^12 = (-2)p

12=p (ans)

→so therefore the value of p is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

●step 1 ) by exponent rule if the bases are same there powers will be add in case of multiplication

m^a*m^b = m^(a+b)

●step2) if in LHS and RHS the bases of powers are same , so powers will become equal

m^a = m^b

a=b
