Question

Use the Quotient rule to simplify. (Show all work)

 

-20a^7b^c^9/5a^4b^2c^5

Answer 1

-20a⁷bc⁹

----------

5a⁴b²c⁵

 

-20/5 = -4

 

a⁷/ a⁴  = a^7-4 = a³

 

b¹/ b² = a^1-2 = b^-1  or 1/b

 

c⁹/ c⁵ = a^9-5 = c⁴

 

Multiply them all together:

 

-4 * a³ * (1/b) * c⁴  

 

 

 

Answer:

 

-4a³ c⁴

---------

     b
