Question

From chapter (EXPONENTS) simplify the following :--- ( full procedure)

x^m(n-p) * x^n(p-m) * x^p(m-n)​

Answer 1

Answer:

x^mn - mp * x^np - nm * x^pm - pn

[ having same bases , powers should be added ]

x^mn - mp + np - nm + pm - pn

x^ 0

( 0 = 1 )

1 is your answer .

Answer 2

given:

x^m(n-p)*x^n(p-m)*x^p(m-n)

here bases are equal so exponents should be added

so,

=x^m(n-p)+n(p-m)+p(m-n)

=x^mn-mp+np-nm+pm-pn

=x^0
