Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents. (u)(3u)9u4
Write Expression and Group: Write down the expression and group the coefficients and variables. u(3u)9u4=(u9)⋅(3uu4)
Simplify Coefficients: Simplify the coefficients.u9 can be simplified to 9, since dividing by u and then multiplying by u cancels out.\left(\frac{\(9\)}{u}\right) \times \left(\frac{u^\(4\)}{\(3\)u}\right) = \(9 \times \left(\frac{u^4}{3u}\right)
Simplify Variables: Simplify the variables.When dividing powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents.3uu4=u4−1=u3
Combine Coefficients and Variables: Combine the simplified coefficients and variables. 9×(3uu4)=9×u3
Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.9×u3=9u3
