Simplify 2a^-4m^5

$2 a^{- 4} m^{5}$

Step 1

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$2 \frac{1}{a^{4}} m^{5}$

Step 2

Combine $2$ and $\frac{1}{a^{4}}$ .

$\frac{2}{a^{4}} m^{5}$

Step 3

Combine $\frac{2}{a^{4}}$ and $m^{5}$ .

$\frac{2 m^{5}}{a^{4}}$
