Study Notes
Fraction Simplification
- Numerator: First, square the numerator. Next, multiply the numerator by itself five times. Then, multiply the results.
- Denominator: Identify the denominator.
- Combining: Combine the results from the numerator and denominator.
- Simplifying: Subtract the powers in the numerator and denominator. Again, subtract the powers in the numerator and denominator.
- Final Result: Include the negative sign that exists from the denominator. Example: a9 b5
