Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents. 2f4f
Simplify fraction by dividing: Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by the common factor.Since both the numerator 4f and the denominator 2f have the common factor 'f', we can simplify the fraction by dividing both by 'f'.\frac{\(4\)f}{\(2\)f} = \frac{\(4\)}{\(2\)}\left(\frac{f}{f}\right)
Simplify numerical part: Simplify the numerical part of the fraction.\(\newlineDivide 4 by 2 to simplify the numerical part of the fraction.24=2
Simplify variable part: Simplify the variable part of the fraction.Since f/f is equal to 1 (any non-zero number divided by itself is 1), we can simplify the variable part of the fraction.f/f=1
Combine simplified parts: Combine the simplified numerical and variable parts.Since the variable part is equal to 1, it does not affect the numerical part, and we are left with just the numerical part.2×1=2
