Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.3g53g6
Identify Base and Operation: Identify the common base and the operation involved.We are dividing two expressions with the same base g, and we need to simplify the expression using the laws of exponents.
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents.The quotient rule states that when dividing powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents.3g53g6=33×g(6−5)
Simplify Coefficients and Powers: Simplify the coefficients and the powers of g. 33=1 and g6−5=g1So, 3g53g6=1×g1
Recognize Exponent Rule: Recognize that g1 is simply g. Since any number to the power of 1 is itself, we have g1=g. Therefore, 1×g1=g
Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.The expression 3g53g6 simplifies to g.
