Question

Simplify fraction numerator 6 x y to the power of 6 z to the power of 2 over denominator 2 y to the power of 2 z to the power of 8 end fraction .

can somebody tell me how to simplify i forgot how to do it

Answer 1

Alright! To simply means to just put it as simple as it can be while still meaning the same thing. So, in this question you're simplifying:

$\frac{6xy^{6}z^{2} }{2y^{2}z^{8}}$

First, you divide the whole numbers:

$\frac{6xy^{6}z^{2} }{2y^{2}z^{8}}$ →  $\frac{3xy^{6}z^{2} }{y^{2}z^{8}}$

All you have to do now is cancel out the powers with their corresponding base. So you'll get the following:

$\frac{3xy^{4}}{z^{6}}$
