Question

Use the quotient rule to simplify the expression assume that all bases are not equal to zero

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we have to divide like powers, to do that, we just need to subtract their exponents.

`(p^8q^9)/(pq^4)=p^(8-1)q^(9-4)=p^7q^5`

Hence, the simplest form is

`p^7q^5`
