Question

how would you simplify this expression?

Answer 1

\[\left( \sqrt{a^8b^4} \right)/a^2b\]

Answer 2

start by converting your exponents so you can work easier
\[\large \left(a^8b^4 \right)^{\frac12}*a^{-2}b^{-1}\]

Answer 3

actually, now that im thinking about it, that really doesnt matter, since we dont know a,b are positive or real

Answer 4

I figured it out, thank you :)
