Question

Choose the correct simplification of the expression a to the 6th power times b to the 3rd power all over a to the 4th power times b to the second power.

(A) a to the second power over b

(B) a10b5

(C) a to the 10th power over b to the 5th power

(D) a2b

Answer 1

it should be a^2b or a squared times b, which would make the answer D

Answer 2

`(a^(6) b^(3))/(a^(4)b^(2)) = a^((6-4))b^((3-2)) = a^(2)b`

similar to selection D
