simplify (5x^2)/(x^3)

Solution

simplify

\frac{5 x ^{2}}{x ^{3}}

Solution

\frac{5}{x}

Solution steps

\frac{5 x ^{2}}{x ^{3}}

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{x ^{a}}{x ^{b}} = \frac{1}{x ^{b - a}}

\frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{3}} = \frac{1}{x ^{3 - 2}}

= \frac{5}{x ^{3 - 2}}

Subtract the numbers:

3 - 2 = 1

= \frac{5}{x ^{1}}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{1} = a

x^{1} = x

= \frac{5}{x}
