In this question, you're simplifying the "fraction".
<em>Simplify:</em>
8x² / 6x^5
<em>First, simplify the 8 and the 6 by dividing by 2</em>
4x² / 3x^5
<em>Now simplify the exponents:</em>
The exponents is equivalent to: x² - x^5
x² - x^5 = -x²
Since it's a negative, it would stay in the bottom of the fraction, or the denominator.
4 / 3x²
Answer:
4 / 3x²
