Choose the correct simplification of ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x^{9}y^{14} }{ x^{2}y^{9} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. \[x^{11}y^{23}\] B. \[x^{12}y^{12}\] C. \[x^{7}y^{5}\] D. \[x^{18}y^{16}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For this I got A :) am I correct Anyone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or it could be C

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

Here, you're just going to want to subtract the exponents top from bottom. So that gives you C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so i dont add

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You add when you multiply.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(x^2 \times x^4 = x^{2+4} = x^8\) \(x^6 \div x^3 = x^{6-3} = x^3\)

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

good example @gypsy1274

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that works for every simplification

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That works anytime you multiply or divide two terms with the same base.
