Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.k3k2+10k
Divide by k: Simplify the expression by dividing 10k by k.When we divide terms with the same base, we subtract the exponents. Since k/k is k1/k1, the k's cancel out because any number to the power of 1 divided by itself is 1.3k2+k10k= 3k2+10
Check for further simplification: Check if any further simplification is possible.The expression 3k2+10 does not have any like terms to combine, and there are no common factors that can be factored out. Therefore, the expression is already in its simplest form.
