Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinev76v136\frac{v^{\frac{7}{6}}}{v^{\frac{13}{6}}}\newlineWrite your answer in the form AA or AB\frac{A}{B}, where AA and BB are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.\newline______
  1. Identify Expression: Identify the expression to simplify.\newlineWe have the expression v76/v136v^{\frac{7}{6}} / v^{\frac{13}{6}} and we need to simplify it.
  2. Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents.\newlineThe quotient rule states that when we divide two expressions with the same base, we subtract the exponents: am/an=a(mn)a^m / a^n = a^{(m-n)}.\newlineSo, v7/6/v13/6=v(7/613/6)v^{7/6} / v^{13/6} = v^{(7/6 - 13/6)}.
  3. Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction of the exponents.\newlineSubtract the exponents: 76136=66\frac{7}{6} - \frac{13}{6} = -\frac{6}{6}.
  4. Simplify Result: Simplify the result.\newlineSince 66-\frac{6}{6} simplifies to 1-1, we have v1v^{-1}.
  5. Write Final Answer: Write the final answer with a positive exponent.\newlineWe can rewrite v1v^{-1} as 1/v1/v because an=1/ana^{-n} = 1/a^n.\newlineSo, the final answer is 1/v1/v.
