Question

simplify 9a^3 b^5 divided by 3ab^2

Answer 1

When dividing this expression, you have to remember two rules:

1.       In dividing constants, you divide it just like the normal division of number.

2.       In dividing variables, you have to subtract the exponent of the denominator to the exponent of the denominator.

9a^3b^5 / 3ab^2

3a^(3-1)b^(5-2)

3a^2b^3
