Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. \newlineb55−25\frac{b^5}{5} - \frac{2}{5}
  1. Identify common denominator: Identify the common denominator for the fractions. In this case, both fractions already have the same denominator, which is 55.
  2. Subtract numerators: Since the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators directly. This gives us (b5−2)/5(b^5 - 2)/5.
  3. Check for simplification: Check if the numerator can be simplified further. Since b5b^5 and 22 have no common factors other than 11, the numerator cannot be simplified. Therefore, the expression in its simplest form is (b5−2)/5(b^5 - 2)/5.
