Question

Multiply or divide as indicated. 15a^4/ 3a^2

Answer 1

The answer is :
`5a^(2)`

Explanation:

The given expression is :

`15a^(4)/ 3a^(2)`

"/" means division symbol, so we have to divide the given expression.

When we are dealing with powers with same bases, we can simplify like-

`(15/3)a^(4-2)`

We will divide 15 by 3, that gives 5.

So, we get the answer as
`5a^(2)`
