Q. Express the following fraction in simplest form using only positive exponents.\newline2(d4)36d5 \frac{2\left(d^{4}\right)^{3}}{6 d^{5}} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Simplify numerator: Simplify the numerator.\newlineThe numerator is 2(d4)32(d^{4})^{3}. According to the power of a power rule, (am)n=amn(a^{m})^{n} = a^{m*n}, we multiply the exponents.\newline2(d43)2(d^{4*3})\newline= 2(d12)2(d^{12})
  2. Simplify denominator: Simplify the denominator.\newlineThe denominator is 6d56d^{5}. There is nothing to simplify here, so we keep it as is.\newline6d56d^{5}
  3. Divide numerator by denominator: Divide the numerator by the denominator.\newlineNow we divide the terms in the numerator by the corresponding terms in the denominator.\newline(2d12)/(6d5)(2d^{12})/(6d^{5})\newlineWe can divide the coefficients (2/6)(2/6) and subtract the exponents of dd (d125)(d^{12-5}) since the bases are the same.\newline(1/3)d125(1/3)d^{12-5}\newline= (1/3)d7(1/3)d^{7}
  4. Check for further simplification: Check for any further simplification.\newlineThe fraction (13)d7(\frac{1}{3})d^{7} is already in its simplest form with positive exponents. There are no common factors to cancel out, and the exponent is already positive.
