Question

How do you multiply and simplify `\frac { - 8b ^ { 4} z ^ { 6} \cdot 3b ^ { 2} z ^ { 2} } { - 6b ^ { 14} z ^ { 9} }`?

Answer 1

Simple. Just use simple order of operations and the rule of the exponents to figure out and simplify the answer.

Explanation:

`(-8b^4z^6*3b^2z^2)/(-6b^14z^9)`

Simplify the numerator first.

`=(-24b^6z^8)/(-6b^14z^9)`

Now simplify with the corresponding terms and variables.

`=4/(b^8z)`
