1. Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 6a^(6)/2a^(2)?
3a^(6-2)
4a^(6-2)
4a6/2
3a6/2

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]3a^{(6-2)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression [tex]\frac{6a^{6}}{2a^{2}}[/tex], first divide the constant term.

[tex]\frac{6a^{6}}{2a^{2}} = \frac{3a^{6}}{a^{2}}[/tex]

Then use the law of exponents [tex]\frac{a^{b}}{a^{c}} = a^{(b-c)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3a^{6}}{a^{2}} = 3a^{(6-2)}[/tex]

The answer can be further simplified but this corresponds to the options given. Further simplification would be,

[tex]3a^{(6-2)} = 3a^{4}[/tex]
