Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents. (10s2)(s)10s
Identify Given Expression: Write down the given expression and identify the common factors in the numerator and the denominator.The given expression is (10s2)(s)10s. We can see that s is common in both the numerator and the denominator.
Cancel Common Factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out the common factors.The s in the numerator can be canceled with one s from the s2 in the denominator. Also, the 10 in the numerator and denominator can be canceled out.10s210s(s)=(1010)∗(s2s)∗(s1)=1∗(s1)∗(s1)=s21
Write Final Simplified Expression: Write the final simplified expression using positive exponents.The expression s21 already has a positive exponent, so this is the final simplified form.
