Exercise 3 Page 13

Distribute the exponent to the numerator and the denominator.

9/16

Practice makes perfect

To simplify the expression, first we need to distribute the exponent to both the numerator and the denominator.

(3/4)^2

PowQuot

(a/b)^m=a^m/b^m

3^2/4^2

CalcPow

Calculate power

9/16

We know that this is the most simplified version of the expression because there are no common factors between 9 and 16. If there were any common factors, we would need to further reduce our fraction.
