Please help =( Choose the correct simplification of the expression a to the 12th power times b to the 8th power all over a to the 2nd power times b to the 4th power a10b4 a6b2 1 over a to the 10th power times b to the 4th power 1 over a to the 14th power times b to the 12th power

@Hero this guy can help you....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ok thanks hun =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hopefully he willcome lol........ i will go find him... lol

hero (hero):

I'm already here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur getting a medal from me hero that commet was at the pefect timimg!!! lol dude u are a real hero!!!

hero (hero):

So the problem is \(\large\frac{a^{12}b^8}{a^2b^4}\) correct?

hero (hero):

@Jada12345

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks you soo much lol =)

hero (hero):

I was asking you IF that was the correct problem, lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol im slow yes lmboo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont ask lol i just had a dumb blonde moment

hero (hero):

Okay, so Hint: \(a^{12-2}b^{8-4}\)

hero (hero):

Let me know what you get. All you have to do is subtract the exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a10 b4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh thats all i have to do?? i did not no

hero (hero):

Correct \(a^{10}b^4\)

hero (hero):

Yup, that's all you have to do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes lol thank you sooh much =)

So foils and simplifies to In other words, Notice how factors back to the original expression (if you need help with factoring, check out this solver). So In other words, Notice how factors back to the original expression (if you need help with factoring, check out this solver). So this verifies our answer.

atta boii hero!!!!! lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i need help with one more idk if i should subtract or add? Choose the correct simplification of the expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A2 a is correct jada :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it?? heres the answers a to the 6th power over b to the 15th power a to the 5th power over b to the 8th power a over b to the 15th power a6b15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a6b15 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jada12345 no prob =D
