Question

Simplify t^5 u^4 over t^2 u

Answer 1

Rewrite t^5 u^4 over t^2 u as

t^5 u^4
---------- First, reduce t^5 / t^2: The answer to that is 5^(5-2) = 5^3
t^2 u

Next, reduce u^4 / t^2; the answer to that is u^2

Then you have

5^3 / u^2, or

5^3
-------
u^2

... which cannot be simplified further.
