Answer 1

Hi Jared

 

(100c⁹)(36c⁴)

-----------------

     60c¹⁰

 

When simplifying problems of this type remember the following.

Multiply or divide the coefficients just as you would normally.

Since the bases are all the same, c, when multiplying, add the exponents.  When dividing, subtract the exponents.

 

This gives us

 

3600 c¹³

---------

 60c¹⁰

 

60c³
