Q. Divide. Write your answer in simplest form. s23÷14s−5
Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, s23÷(4s−5) becomes s23×(4s−5)1.
Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. So, s23×4s−51=s2(4s−5)3.
Simplify if possible: Simplify the denominator if possible. In this case, s2(4s−5) cannot be simplified further, so the expression remains s2(4s−5)3.
Write in simplest form: Write the answer in the simplest form. So, s2(4s−5)3 is already in its simplest form.
