Question

Simplify this expression. If the answer contains exponents, all exponents should be positive.

^{r^12/(r^2)^5}

Answer 1

Jared,

 

To simplify this, start by simplifying the denominator.

 

For any expression (r^x)^y that is equal to r^xy. Another words, the exponents are multiplied together.

 

So (r²)⁵ = r¹⁰.

 

That leaves you with r¹²/r¹⁰.

 

For any expression r^x/r^y, that is equal to r^(x-y). The exponents are subtracted from each other.

 

So r¹²/r¹⁰ = r²
