Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.d45d49Write 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.d45d49Write 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.______
Identify Operation: We have the expression:d49/d45What operation will be applied with the exponents?When dividing powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents.So, we will use the subtraction operation with the exponents.
Combine Powers: Subtract the exponents to combine the powers of d:d49/d45=d(49)−(45)Perform the subtraction:d(49)−(45)=d44d44=d1
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression:Since d1 is simply d, the final simplified form is:d
