Exercise 6 Page 27

Use the Quotient of Powers Law. This Law states that to divide powers with the same base, we need to subtract their exponents.

x^2y^5

Practice makes perfect

We want to simplify the rational expression by using the Laws of Exponents. x^6y^(14)/x^4y^9 In this case, we will use the Quotient of Powers Law. This Law states that to divide powers with the same base, we need to subtract their exponents. Let's do it!

x^6y^(14)/x^4y^9

Write as a product of fractions

x^6/x^4 * y^(14)/y^9

a^m/a^n= a^(m-n)

x^(6 - 4)y^(14 - 9)

Subtract term

x^2y^5
