Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.d72d2
Write Expression: Write down the expression.The expression given is d72d2. We need to simplify this expression.
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents. The quotient rule states that when dividing powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents. d72d2=2×d(2−7)
Subtract Exponents: Perform the subtraction of the exponents.Subtract the exponents 2 and 7.d(2−7)=d−5
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression.Now we have 2⋅d−5. Since we want to express the answer using positive exponents, we can write d−5 as 1/d5.2⋅d−5=d52
Final Answer: Write the final simplified expression.The final simplified expression is d52.
