Simplify (x^2)/x

Problem

(x2)/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 (am)/(an)=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 x1 to x

Final Answer

(x2)/x=x
