Expanding the equation of state we have

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & P V^c+a T^2 V^{c-1}=R T+b \\ & \text { Or } P=-a T^2 V^{-1}+R T V^{-c}+b V^{-c} \\ & \text { Or } P=A V^{-c}-B V^{-1} \end{aligned}}             ....[i]

\mathrm{\text { Where } A=R T+b \text { and } B=a T^2 \text {. We are given that }}

\mathrm{P=A V^m-B V^n}                .....[ii]

Comparing the powers of V in (i) and (ii) we get m = −c and n = −1
