Q. Simplify the fraction completely. If the fraction does not simplify, submit the fraction in its current form.5x212x4Answer:
Divide by common power: To simplify the fraction (12x4)/(5x2), we need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by the highest power of x that is common to both, which is x2.Calculation: (12x4)/(5x2)=(12/5)∗(x4−2)
Simplify powers of x: Now we simplify the powers of x by subtracting the exponents.Calculation: x(4−2)=x2
Final fraction simplification: The fraction now simplifies to (512)×x2. There is no further simplification possible for the numerical part (512), and the x terms have been simplified correctly.
