Question

Part 1:
Show the expanded form and simplification of x^6/x^2. Explain in your own words how you can simplify x^6/x^2 without having to write the expanded form.

Part 2:

Create your own fraction with like bases, coefficients, and show its simplification.

Answer 1

Part 1: show the expanded form and simplification
x^6/x^2 = xxxxxx/xx = xxxx
Explain in your own words how to do it without writing the expanded form:
"Subtract the exponents of the x^6 and x^2 to get x^(6-2) which is = x^4"

Part 2: My own fraction: a^12/a^4
Simplification: a^(12-4) = a^8

Answer 2

thanks!
