  • Graphical form: \"a%5E3%2Ab%5E0%2F%28ab%29%5E-2\" simplifies to \"a%5E3%2A%28ab%29%5E2\"
  • Text form: a^3*b^0/(ab)^-2 simplifies to a^3*(ab)^2
  • Cartoon (animation) form: \"simplify_cartoon%28+a%5E3%2Ab%5E0%2F%28ab%29%5E-2+%29\"
    For tutors: simplify_cartoon( a^3*b^0/(ab)^-2 )

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"a%5E3%2Ahighlight_red%28+b+%29%5Ehighlight_red%28+0+%29%2F%28ab%29%5E-2\".
Removing power \"highlight_red%28+b+%29\" to degree of \"highlight_green%28+0+%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"a%5E3%2Ahighlight_red%28+1+%29%2F%28ab%29%5E-2\".
Remove extraneous '1' from product \"highlight_red%28+1+%29\"
It becomes \"a%5E3%2F%28ab%29%5E-2\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"a%5E3%2Fhighlight_red%28+%28ab%29%5E-2+%29\".
Negative power changes multiplication to division
It becomes \"a%5E3%2Ahighlight_green%28+%28ab%29%5E2+%29\".
Result: \"a%5E3%2A%28ab%29%5E2\"
