Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinez12z32z32\frac{z^{\frac{1}{2}}}{z^{\frac{3}{2}} \cdot z^{\frac{3}{2}}}\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. Given Expression: We are given the expression z12/(z32z32)z^{\frac{1}{2}}/(z^{\frac{3}{2}} \cdot z^{\frac{3}{2}}). To simplify this expression, we will use the properties of exponents to combine the exponents in the denominator and then simplify the fraction.
  2. Combine Exponents in Denominator: First, let's combine the exponents in the denominator using the property of exponents that states am×an=am+na^{m} \times a^{n} = a^{m+n}. We have z32×z32z^{\frac{3}{2}} \times z^{\frac{3}{2}} which equals z32+32z^{\frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{2}}.
  3. Simplify Denominator: Adding the exponents in the denominator, we get z32+32=z62z^{\frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{2}} = z^{\frac{6}{2}}. Simplifying 62\frac{6}{2} gives us z3z^3.
  4. Combine Exponents in Numerator: Now we have the expression z1/2/z3z^{1/2} / z^3. To simplify this, we use the property of exponents that states am/an=amna^{m} / a^{n} = a^{m-n} when m > n. Here, we have z1/23z^{1/2 - 3}.
  5. Simplify Numerator: Subtracting the exponents, we get z1/23=z1/26/2=z5/2z^{1/2 - 3} = z^{1/2 - 6/2} = z^{-5/2}. Since we want the exponent to be positive, we can write this as 1/z5/21/z^{5/2}.
  6. Final Simplification: The expression is now simplified to 1z52\frac{1}{z^{\frac{5}{2}}}, which is in the form AB\frac{A}{B} as required, where AA is 11 and BB is z52z^{\frac{5}{2}}. There are no variables in common in the numerator and denominator, and the exponent is positive.
