Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.\newlineh6h6h6\frac{h^{-6}}{h^{6} \cdot h^{-6}}
  1. Identify Operation: Identify the operation needed for the exponents.\newlineWe need to simplify the expression h6/(h6h6)h^{-6}/(h^{6} \cdot h^{-6}) by using the properties of exponents.
  2. Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents. The quotient rule states that when we divide powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents. h6/(h6h6)h^{-6}/(h^{6} \cdot h^{-6}) can be simplified by first simplifying the denominator.
  3. Simplify Denominator: Simplify the denominator using the product rule for exponents. The product rule states that when we multiply powers with the same base, we add the exponents. h6×h6=h6+(6)=h0h^6 \times h^{-6} = h^{6 + (-6)} = h^0
  4. Recognize Power of 00: Recognize that any non-zero number raised to the power of 00 is 11.h0=1h^0 = 1So, the denominator simplifies to 11.
  5. Divide Numerator: Divide the numerator by the denominator. h6/1=h6h^{-6} / 1 = h^{-6} Since the denominator is 11, it does not change the value of the numerator.
  6. Express Negative Exponent: Express the negative exponent as a positive exponent.\newlineWe know that h6h^{-6} is the same as 1/h61/h^{6}.
  7. Final Simplification: Simplify the expression.\newlineSince 1h6\frac{1}{h^6} is already in its simplest form with a positive exponent, this is our final answer.
