Answer:

The simplified form of the provided expression is
ab.

Explanation:

Consider the provided expression.


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

Now, use the quotient rule of exponent.

Quotient Rule:
(a^m)/(a^n)=a^(m-n)</p><p>[tex](a^3b^2)/(a^2b)


a^(3-2)b^(2-1)


a^(1)b^(1)


ab

Hence, the simplified form of the provided expression is
ab.
