Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.3n9n9
Divide and Subtract Exponents: Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.Divide 9 by 3 and subtract the exponent of n in the denominator from the exponent of n in the numerator.3n9n9=(39)⋅(n1n9)
Simplify Coefficients: Simplify the coefficients.39=3.(39)⋅(n1n9)=3⋅(n1n9)
Subtract Exponents: Subtract the exponents of n. When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents. n9/n1=n(9−1)=n8
Combine Coefficients and Powers: Combine the simplified coefficients and powers of n.3×n8=3n8
