Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.2u96u3
Write Expression: Write down the given expression.We have the expression 2u96u3.
Simplify Coefficients: Simplify the coefficients (numbers in front of the variables).Divide 6 by 2 to simplify the coefficients.6/2=3
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents.When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents.u3/u9=u(3−9)=u−6
Express with Positive Exponent: Express the answer with a positive exponent.Since we want to express the answer with positive exponents, we rewrite u−6 as 1/u6.
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 4.The simplified expression is 3×u61, which can be written as u63.
