Allison:

4p^2/4p^3

DeepBeyond:

I dont know how this thing works but the answer is p^5

Allison:

The answer should be a fraction..

Shadow:

\[\frac{ 4p^2 }{ 4p^3 } = \frac{ p^2 }{ p^3 } = \frac{ 1 }{ p^{3 -2} } = \frac{ 1 }{ p }\]

Shadow:

@Allison Does that make sense to you?

Allison:

Yes sir

Allison:

How did you get the 3-2?

Shadow:

\[\frac{ x^a }{ x^b }= \frac{ 1 }{ x^{b-a} }\]

Allison:

Huh

Shadow:

Subtract the bottom exponent by the top exponent

Allison:

Why is the one just hanging there

Shadow:

\[\frac{ p }{ p } =1\]

Allison:

Oh

Shadow:

\[\frac{ 4p^2 }{ 4p^2 } \times \frac{ 1 }{ p } = 1 \times \frac{ 1 }{ p }\]

Allison:

Thank you
