Q. Simplify.Rewrite the expression in the form zn.z−14z7=
Identify base and exponents: Identify the base and the exponents of both the numerator and the denominator. In the numerator, z is the base raised to the exponent 7. In the denominator, z is the base raised to the exponent −14. Base: z Exponent of numerator: 7 Exponent of denominator: −14
Apply quotient rule for exponents: Apply the quotient rule for exponents, which states that when dividing like bases, you subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.z−14z7=z7−(−14)
Perform subtraction in exponent: Perform the subtraction in the exponent.z(7−(−14))=z(7+14)=z21
Write final simplified expression: Write the final simplified expression.The expression z−14z7 simplifies to z21.
