Look at the division expression .
Rewrite the division expression as a fraction.
Compare your answer:
Fraction form:
Since we have a monomial divided by a monomial, we can rewrite the fraction as a product of several fractions where the factors in the numerator and denominator “match.”
Compare your answer:
Now we can simplify the fraction multiplication and use the Quotient Property to divide.
Compare your answer:
So .
