could someone help me with math?

Question

Divide, and write all answers with positive exponents only:

29q⁹

––––

−58q¹⁶

 

(this is a fraction btw)

Answer 1

Using the laws (properties) of exponents, with which you should be familiar in order to attempt this problem, you get negative one half (that's 29 / -58) and then q^7 appears in the denominator.

 

That is, -1/(2q⁷)
