You can put this solution on YOUR website! If I understand your problem correctly, it is:
.
.
Let's begin by multiplying the two terms in the numerator. You do that by first multiplying the
constants. So you begin by multiplying 4 times 10 to get 40. Then you multiply the terms that
have a common base. You do that by adding their exponents. So and . Putting these three multiplications together in the numerator makes
the problem become:
.
.
Then you do the division ... dividing the terms in the denominator into the like terms in the
numerator. For those terms having exponents, when you divide them into a term with a like
base in the numerator, the result is the base raised to an exponent that is the difference
between the exponent in the numerator minus the exponent of that base in the denominator.
.
For this division, begin by dividing the constants. Divide 2 into the 40 of the numerator to
get 20 as the answer. Then divide by subtracting the exponents to get this
answer as . And finally divide . The
final answer then becomes the product of these three quotients as in:
.
.
And that's the answer to this problem. Hope this helps you to understand some of the methods
that are involved in solving problems such as these.
