Question

Simplify the expression c^-6 * d^4/ c^-16 * d^14​

Answer 1

`(c^(10))/(d^(10))`

Explanation:

Although the way you wrote problem, this is not what it looks like, I think this is what you meant.

`(c^(-6) * d^(4))/(c^(-16) * d^(14)) =`

`= (c^(-6))/(c^(-16)) * (d^(4))/(d^(14))`

`= c^(-6 - (-16)) * d^(4 - 14)`

`= c^(-6 + 16) * d^(-10)`

`= c^(10) * d^(-10)`

`= (c^(10))/(d^(10))`
