Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents. p7p
Write Expression: Write down the given expression.The given expression is p7p. We need to simplify this expression.
Divide Terms: Simplify the expression by dividing the terms.When dividing powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents. In this case, since p/p is p1/p1, we subtract the exponents: 1−1=0.7p/p=7×(p1/p1)=7×p1−1=7×p0
Simplify Exponents: Recall that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1.p0=1Therefore, 7×p0=7×1=7
Recall Property: Write the final simplified expression.The simplified expression is 7.
