Simplify (x^2)/x

Problem

(x^2)/x

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a quotient of powers with the same base, x

2. Apply the quotient rule for exponents, which states that (a^m)/(a^n)=a^(m−n) for a≠0

3. Subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator: $2 - 1 = 1$.

4. Simplify the resulting expression x^1 to x

Final Answer

(x^2)/x=x
