Question

What is the correct simplification of

Answer 1

\[\frac{ d ^{7}g ^{13}}{ d ^{2}g ^{7} }\]

Answer 2

\[\frac{ d^5g^6 }{ 1 } = d^5g^6\]

Answer 3

wouldnt it be -6?

Answer 4

why doesnt it go on the bottom?

Answer 5

\[\frac{dddddddggggggggggggg}{ddggggggg}\]

Answer 6

We subtract the denominator from the numerator\[d^7 - ^2 = 5\]

\[g ^{13 - 7} = 6\]

Answer 7

Are the extra d's on the top or bottom after you cancel the common factors?

Answer 8

Where are the extra g's? On the top or bottom?

Answer 9

Mertsj is trying to help you by giving a visual representation.

Answer 10

@Mertsj on the top for both

Answer 11

Correct.

Answer 12

Excellent. That's why they are on the top.

Answer 13

Now what happens when you have a fraction in the form of. \[ \frac{x }{ 1 }\]

Answer 14

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Answer 15

That subtraction thing is just a convenient shortcut so we don't have to write out all those factors every time.

Answer 16

ohhok thank you to both :)
