Question

Simplify the following expression

Answer 1

(a^3)(b^2)/(a^2)(b)

Thus, the equation can be reduced to, ab.

Answer 2

Simplification of the given expression.

`\frac{a {}^(3)b {}^(2) }{a {}^(2)b }`
Divide the terms with the same base by subtracting their exponents.


`= \frac{a {}^(3 - 2) b {}^(2) }{b}`
Subtract the numbers


`= \frac{a {}^(1) b {}^(2) }{b}`
Any expression raised to the power of 1 equals itself.


`= \frac{ab {}^(2) }{b}`
Now, reduce the fraction with b.


`= ab`
