Simplify. Put this quotient in standard form.
.

---------
Remember we can only combine like terms (e.g. numbers with numbers, the variable a with another a, and the variable b with another b.
.
First, we need to take care of the exponent. We use the Power Property for Exponents (when raising an exponential expression to a power, MULTIPLY the exponents. Raise each term in inside the parentheses to the 4th power. We get,

.
Now, we can divide each term in the numerator by the like term in the denominator. We use the Quotient Property for Exponents (when we divide exponential expressions, we SUBTRACT the exponents.)

If you have questions about the exponent properties, here's a link to a good video:
