Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.6q6q9
Write Expression: Write down the given expression.The given expression is 6q6q9.
Simplify Coefficients: Simplify the coefficients.Divide the coefficients 6 by 6.66=1
Simplify Variables: Simplify the variables with exponents. Divide q9 by q, which is the same as q9/q1. When we divide powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents. q9/q1=q9−1=q8
Combine Simplified Terms: Combine the simplified coefficients and variables.Since the coefficient is 1, it does not need to be written.The simplified expression is q8.
