Ms. Terrence asked the students to divide their answer from Part A by 4a6. Simplify using the Quotients of Powers Property.

Question

(Answer from previous question: 28a^7)

Answer 1

To simplify, we can divide the answer (28a^7) by 4a^6.

Using the Quotients of Powers Property, we subtract the exponents when dividing variables with the same base.

So, we have:

(28a^7) / (4a^6)

Dividing the coefficients, we get:

28 / 4 = 7

For the variables, we subtract the exponents:

a^7 / a^6 = a^(7-6) = a^1 = a

Therefore, the simplified answer is 7a.
