Learn how to simplify an expression by applying the quotient rule of exponents

The video tutorial explains how to simplify problems involving exponents by breaking them into manageable parts. It emphasizes the importance of handling multiple bases separately and demonstrates the process of simplifying fractions. The tutorial concludes with a step-by-step simplification to achieve the final answer.

What is the first step in simplifying expressions with multiple bases?

• Ignore the bases and focus on coefficients

• Add all exponents together

• Separate the expression into parts with the same base

• Combine all terms into a single expression

How can you simplify the fraction 2/6?

• Add 4 to the numerator

• Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2

• Subtract 1 from the denominator

• Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3

What is the simplified form of the expression X^2 / X?

• X^3

• X^2

• X

• 1

What happens when you have a double negative in an exponent?

• The exponent is ignored

• The exponent becomes positive

• The exponent remains negative

• The exponent becomes zero

What is the final simplified form of the expression XY^8 divided by 3?

• 3/XY^8

• XY^8/3

• XY^8*3

• 3XY^8
