1.b^3c^2/b^3c simplify?

Answer 1

(b^3 c^2 ) / (b^3 c )

First, the b^3 on the to and bottom cancel each other out.

(c^2) / c

Note that the c on the bottom is really c^1.

(c^2) / (c^1)

Whenever we have the same base but different exponents and are dividing, we subtract the exponents.

c^(2 - 1)

c^1

Answer 2

1.b^3c^2 / b^3c
Ignore the 1. We have a common factor of b^3 on top and bottom which can cancel out:
= c^2 / c
There is also a common factor of c on top and bottom which will cancel out. We have two factors of c on the top and we are removing one, so we will be left with one:
= c.

Answer 3

b^3c^2
______ =
b^3c
c^2
___ (numerator b^3 cancels denominator b^3) =
c
= c (as c x c / c = c; one c cancelling the bottom c)
