Question

Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.

Raise the quotient of 8 and v to the 2nd power

Do not simplify any part of the expression.

Answer 1

quotient refers to division:

(8/v)² ⇒ (8/v)(8/v) = 8*8 / v*v = 64/v²

When you raise a fraction to a power, you multiply the fraction by itself according to the power raised.

Then, do the usual steps of multiplying fractions.
1) multiply numerators.
2) multiply denominators
3) simplify fraction produced.
