PLEASE IGNORE THE ?s I NEED THEM THERE SO THE NUMBERS WILL BE ABOVE THE LETTERS. ON THE QUESTION 2 IS ABOVE a AND 3 IS ABOVE b. |
That still does not make a whole lot of sense. Powers are most simply represented by "^". That is (2a^2b) divided by (ab^3).
No, that is not 2a^3b^4. Write this as the fraction (2a^2b)/(ab^3) and
cancel where you can.
