Q. Fully simplify using only positive exponents.8x6y58x8y8Answer:
Simplify coefficients: Simplify the coefficients.We have the same coefficient 8 in the numerator and the denominator, so they cancel each other out.(8x8y8)/(8x6y5)=x8y8/(x6y5)
Apply quotient rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents.The quotient rule states that am/an=am−n when m > n.x8y8/(x6y5)=x8−6y8−5
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction for the exponents. x(8−6)y(8−5)=x2y3
Write final expression: Write the final simplified expression.The expression is now fully simplified with positive exponents.x2y3
