Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.gg2−5g
Divide by g: Simplify the expression by dividing each term in the numerator by the term in the denominator.The expression is gg2−5g. We can divide each term in the numerator by g.gg2−g5g=g2−1−5
Subtraction in Exponent: Perform the subtraction in the exponent and simplify the constant term.g2−1−5=g1−5Since g1 is just g, the expression simplifies to g−5.
Check for Errors: Check for any mathematical errors.There are no mathematical errors in the previous steps. The expression has been simplified correctly.
