Question

(3x^2/6x^7)

This is a fraction and an indice. Please solve with explanation if possible.

Answer 1

[tex] (\frac{3x^{2}}{6x^{7} }) \\ \\ (\frac{3x^{2}}{3 * 2 x^{7} } ) \\ [/tex]

We strike off 3 from the numerator and from the denominator.

[tex] ( \frac{x^{2}} {2 x^{7}}) \\ [/tex]

we subtract the index of x in the denominator from the index of x in the numerator. We write x in the numerator only. remove x from denominator.

$( \frac{x^{2-7}}{2 })$

$( \frac{x^{-5}}{2 })$
