\[\frac{ b ^{3}c ^{2} }{ b ^{3} c}\] so if I have this fraction, would it equal \[bc^{1}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the b^3 cancel each other out, so b does not exist in the answer
On the other hand, there is a c^1
The answer should be
c
Does that make sense?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
close but not quite, the b is wrong.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ohh okay so it'd just be c?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Correct :)

yep, correct.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because the b's cancel/simplify out.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thanks! :D
OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):
but if you divide c^2 with c won't it stay c^2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@KirbyLegs can you give @JayDS a medal please? so you both get one :D

lol, u didn't have to say that, as long as u got help u needed but thanks.

@UH60blackhawk if u divide c^2 with c, it will just be c because one c will remain on the numerator(the top), essentially it will become c/1 which e write as just c.
