Question

express in simplified exponential notation. 18a^3b^2/2ab

Answer 1

$\frac{18a^3b&2}{2ab}= 9a^2*b$

Answer 2

Answer:

$9a^2b$

Step-by-step explanation:

18a^3b^2/2ab

$\frac{18a^3b^2}{2ab}$

To simplify the given expression, we apply property of exponents

18/2 = 9

x^m / x^n= x^ (m-n) In division we subtract the exponents

$\frac{a^3}{a}=a^{3-1)= a^2$

$\frac{b^2}{b}=b{2-1}= b$

So given expression becomes

$9a^2b$

The answer has only positive exponents
