Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.\newline8b4b3\frac{8b}{4b^3}
  1. Simplify Coefficients: Simplify the coefficients.\newlineDivide the coefficient of the numerator by the coefficient of the denominator.\newline84=2\frac{8}{4} = 2
  2. Simplify Variables with Exponents: Simplify the variables with exponents. When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents. bb3=b(1−3)=b−2\frac{b}{b^3} = b^{(1-3)} = b^{-2}
  3. Express with Positive Exponents: Express the answer with positive exponents.\newlineSince we cannot have negative exponents in the final answer, we rewrite b−2b^{-2} as 1/b21/b^2.\newline2×(1/b2)=2/b22 \times (1/b^2) = 2/b^2
  4. Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 11 and Step 33.\newlineThe simplified expression is 2/b22/b^2.
