Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents. \newline7m87m\frac{7m^8}{7m}
  1. Write Expression: Write down the given expression.\newlineThe given expression is 7m87m\frac{7m^8}{7m}. We need to simplify this expression by dividing the terms.
  2. Divide Coefficients and Variables: Divide the coefficients and the variables separately.\newlineSince the coefficients are the same 77\frac{7}{7}, they will divide out to 11. For the variables, we use the property of exponents that states when dividing like bases, you subtract the exponents.\newline\frac{\(7\)m^\(8\)}{\(7\)m} = \left(\frac{\(7\)}{\(7\)}\right) \times \left(\frac{m^\(8\)}{m^\(1\)}\right)
  3. Simplify Coefficients and Exponents: Simplify the coefficients and apply the exponent rule.\(\newline(77)(\frac{7}{7}) simplifies to 11, and for the variables, we subtract the exponents: 81=78 - 1 = 7.\newlineSo, 7m87m=1×m(81)=m7\frac{7m^8}{7m} = 1 \times m^{(8-1)} = m^7
  4. Final Simplified Expression: Write the final simplified expression.\newlineThe final simplified expression is m7m^7.
