Simplify (7x^2)/(x^3)

Problem

(7*x^2)/(x^3)

Solution

1. Identify the common terms in the numerator and the denominator.

2. Apply the quotient rule for exponents, which states that (x^a)/(x^b)=x^(a−b)

3. Subtract the exponents of the variable x $2 - 3 = -1$.

4. Rewrite the expression using positive exponents by moving x^(−1) to the denominator.

Final Answer

(7*x^2)/(x^3)=7/x
