Q. Fully simplify using only positive exponents.9x2y9x5y3Answer:
Simplify coefficients: Simplify the coefficients.Divide the coefficients 9 by 9.99=1
Apply quotient rule to x: Apply the quotient rule for exponents to x. The quotient rule states that am/an=a(m−n) when m > n. x5/x2=x(5−2)=x3
Apply quotient rule to y: Apply the quotient rule for exponents to y. Similarly, apply the quotient rule to yy3. y1y3=y3−1=y2
Combine results: Combine the results from Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3. Since the coefficient simplifies to 1, it does not need to be written. The simplified expression is x3y2.
