Question

simplify:

Answer 1

\[r^2s^4t/r^2st^3\]

Answer 2

Uh...

Answer 3

dividing monomials

Answer 4

Yeah i dont know what yet :( sorry

Answer 5

thats ok!

Answer 8

You mean \[\frac{r^2s^4t}{r^2st^3}\] right?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

Do you know about the properties of exponents with a common base in division?

\[\frac{x^n}{x^m} = x^{n-m}\]

You can rewrite your problem as \[\frac{r^2}{r^2} * \frac{s^4}{s} * \frac{t}{t^3}\]Use the property I just mentioned to simplify each fraction, then multiply the results together for your answer. Remember also that \[x^{-n} = \frac{1}{x^n}\]and\[\frac{1}{x^{-n}} = x^n\]

Answer 11

yup, im just confused on how i am supposed to simplify it.

Answer 12

is it ?

Answer 14

@jdoe0001

Answer 15

Yes, that is correct. You could also write it as \[s^3t^{-2}\]if you prefer to have it all on one line.

Answer 16

i solved this one is it right?
\[3x^6 / 18x\]

Answer 17

Is that the problem or the answer?

Answer 18

\[x^5/6\]

Answer 19

is that the correct answer?

Answer 20
