Apply index law three to simplify each of the following.
a
(m2)
b
6(p^)

Explanation:

The index law that you are dealing with is:

It is used when you have the quotient of powers with the same base.

To show you how to use that rule, let's work an example

Simplify:

Factor 9 as 3² and 6 as 2×3:

Group the factor with equal base:

Use the index law:

Note that it was used an additional rule:          

Thus,          

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.

my answer is$ 12

step-by-step explanation:

because 15 -2=12
