SOLUTION: Thanks in advance- this fraction makes no sense to me. a^2m(b^m+1) / a^m(b) I know it looks confusing but to clarify, it reads: a to the second times m multiplied by b to the m

Question 5699: Thanks in advance- this fraction makes no sense to me.
a^2m(b^m+1) / a^m(b)
I know it looks confusing but to clarify, it reads: a to the second times m multiplied by b to the m plus one, divided by a to the m multiplied by b.
*When I work it out I end up with a^2m-m(b^m). I have no real clue if I'm right.

with powers, there are very few rules to learn:

is
is
is

these are the basic three...apply them to your question

so, the a terms: : we have division, so powers subtract: 2m-m is m --> .

so, the b terms: : we have division again, so m+1-1 is m --> .

So, complete answer is

jon.
