Question

Simplify the expression x8 y-26/x14 y-5 X x-39 y-21.

Answer 1

$\frac{x^8y^{-26}}{x^{14}y^{-5}}[x^{-36}y^{-21}]$

We will apply these following power rule

$x^m*x^n = x^{m+n}$
$x^m/x^n=x^{m-n}$

$[ \frac{x^8}{x^{14}}][ \frac{y^{-26}}{y^{-5}}][x^{-39}y^{-21}]$
$[x^{8-14}][y^{-26-5}][x^{-39}y^{-21}]$
$x^{-6}y^{-21}[x^{-39}y^{-21}]$
$[x^{-6-39}][y^{-21-21}]$
$x^{-45}y^{-42}$
