Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.d34d31Write your answer in the form A or BA, where A and B are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.______
Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.d34d31Write your answer in the form A or BA, where A and B are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.______
Apply Exponent Rule: We have the expression:d31/d34Which operation will be applied with the exponents?When dividing powers with the same base, the exponents are subtracted.
Simplify Expression: We apply the exponent rule:d31/d34Simplify the expression by subtracting the exponents.d31−34= d−33= d−1
Convert Negative Exponent: We need to express the answer with a positive exponent.To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, we take the reciprocal of the base.d−1=d1
