Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.v25v23Write 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.v25v23Write 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: Identify the operation to be applied with the exponents.When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents.
Apply Operation: Apply the operation to the exponents.v25v23=v(23−25)=v−22
Simplify Exponent: Simplify the exponent. v(−2/2)=v(−1)=v1
Ensure Positivity: Ensure the exponent is positive.Since we assume all variables are positive, we can write the final answer with a positive exponent.v1=v−1
