Find m so that ( −5 )ᵐ⁺¹ x (−5 )³ = (−5 )⁶ ​

m-2

( −5 )2⁺¹ x (−5 )³ = (−5 )⁶

( −5 )3 x (−5 )³ = (−5 )⁶

There is a rule in exponent when multiplying,if the base is same add the exponent so 3+3 equals to 6

so the answer is

( −5 )3x (−5 )³ = (−5 )⁶

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.
