Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.\newline5r2r\frac{5r^2}{r}
  1. Write Expression: Write down the expression to be simplified.\newlineWe have the expression 5r2r\frac{5r^2}{r}.
  2. Divide Terms: Divide the terms with the same base.\newlineWhen dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents.\newline5r2r=5×r21=5×r1\frac{5r^2}{r} = 5 \times r^{2-1} = 5 \times r^1
  3. Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression.\newlineSince r1r^1 is just rr, we can write the expression as:\newline5×r1=5r5 \times r^1 = 5r
