Q. Fully simplify using only positive exponents.8xy24x4y6Answer:
Simplify Coefficients: Simplify the coefficients and cancel out common factors.We have the fraction(24x4y6)/(8xy). We can simplify the numerical part by dividing 24 by 8.24÷8=3So, the expression becomes (3x4y6)/(xy).
Apply Quotient Rule for x: Apply the quotient rule for exponents to the variable x. The quotient rule states that when we divide like bases, we subtract the exponents. x4÷x=x4−1=x3. So, the expression now is (3x3y6)/(y).
Apply Quotient Rule for y: Apply the quotient rule for exponents to the variable y. Similarly, y6÷y=y6−1=y5. So, the fully simplified expression is 3x3y5.
