Question

How do you simplify fractions with exponents?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

You can only simplify fractionds with exponents if eitheir their bases or exponents are equal.

• if bases are equal then you can write the fraction as one power using the formula:

`a^m/a^n=a^(m-n)`

• if exponents are equal then you can use the formula:

`a^m/b^m=(a/b)^m`

and simplify the fraction `a/b` if possible
