Question

Stefan says he cannot simplify the expression $\frac{p^{c}}{r^{c}}$. Complete the statement about Stefan's claim.

Stefan (can, cannot) simplify this expression because the two parts (have, do not have) the same (base, exponent).

$\frac{p^{c}}{r^{c}}$ is the same as:
(p * c)/(r * c)
(p/r)^c
p * c - r * c
(p/r)^c/c
no other expression

Answer 1

1. Stefan CAN  simplify this expression because the two parts HAVE the same EXPONENT .

2. p^c/r^c is the same as (P/R)^C

I did it on TTM.

Please mark me brainliest!

Answer 2

Answer:

Can; have; exponent; (p/r)^c

Step-by-step explanation:

Raising a fraction to a power means that we raise both the numerator and denominator to that same power.

The converse is also true.  If we have two powers, both of which have the same exponent, in fraction form, we can write this as the fraction made by the bases with the entire fraction raised to the power.

This means since p^c and r^c have the same exponent, we can write this as

(p/r)^c
