Question

Find m
so that (-3)^m+1 x (-3)⁵ = (-3)⁷​

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• ( -3 ) ^ m + 1 x ( -3 )^5 = ( -3 )^ 7

• ( -3 ) ^ m + 1 + 5 = ( -3 )^7   ( Base in left hand side is same, so power is          added . )
• (-3 ) ^ m + 6 = ( -3 ) ^7   ( Power 1 and 5 is added . )
• m + 6 = 7  ( Base on both sides are equal, so powers are also equal . )
• m = 7 - 6  ( when +6 go on another side it become -6 . )
• m = 1   ( 7-6 = 1 )
