Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.2j38j
Write Expression: Write down the expression to be simplified. 2j38j
Simplify Coefficients: Simplify the coefficients (numerical parts) of the expression.Divide 8 by 2.28=4
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents to simplify the variable part of the expression.The quotient rule states that when dividing like bases, you subtract the exponents.j3j=j(1−3)=j−2
Express with Positive Exponents: Express the answer with positive exponents.Since we have j−2, we can rewrite it as 1/j2 to have a positive exponent.4×(1/j2)=4/j2
