Question

How do you simplify `(2x^-3*x^5) / (3x^2)`?

Answer 1

`2/3`

Explanation:

If you consider the numerator firstly

`2x^(-3)xxx^5`

when multiplying terms with powers we effectively add the powers

`=>` `2x^2`

Now we have `(2x^2)/(3x^2)` `=>` `2/3`

Answer 2

see below

Explanation:

We have, `frac{2xx x ^-3xxx^5}(3x^2)`
Simplifying,we get, #frac{2}3 xxx^(5-3-2)

Or, `frac{2}3xx x^0` which comes out to be `2//3`
