Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.

\newline

\frac{z^{\frac{6}{5}}}{z^{\frac{13}{5}}}

\newline

Write your answer in the form

A

or

\frac{A}{B}

, where

A

and

B

are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.

\newline

______

Apply Exponent Rule: We have the expression: $\newline$ $z^{\frac{6}{5}} / z^{\frac{13}{5}}$ $\newline$ Which operation will be applied with the exponents? $\newline$ When dividing powers with the same base, the exponents are subtracted.
Subtract Exponents: Simplify the expression by subtracting the exponents: $\newline$ $z^{\frac{6}{5}} / z^{\frac{13}{5}}$ $\newline$ = $z^{\frac{6}{5} - \frac{13}{5}}$ $\newline$ = $z^{-\frac{7}{5}}$ $\newline$ Since we want the exponent to be positive, we can rewrite the expression as: $\newline$ $z^{-\frac{7}{5}} = \frac{1}{z^{\frac{7}{5}}}$
Rewrite as Positive Exponent: Now we have the expression in the form where the exponent is positive: $\newline$ $\frac{1}{z^{\frac{7}{5}}}$ $\newline$ This is the simplified form of the original expression.
