Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlined94d74\frac{d^{\frac{9}{4}}}{d^{\frac{7}{4}}}\newlineWrite your answer in the form AA or AB\frac{A}{B}, where AA and BB are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.\newline______
  1. Given Expression: We have the expression:\newlined94/d74d^{\frac{9}{4}} / d^{\frac{7}{4}}\newlineWhat operation will be applied with the exponents?\newlineWhen dividing powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents.\newlineSo, we will use the subtraction operation with the exponents.
  2. Exponent Operation: Subtract the exponents to combine the powers of dd into a single term:\newlined94/d74=d(9474)d^{\frac{9}{4}} / d^{\frac{7}{4}} = d^{(\frac{9}{4} - \frac{7}{4})}\newlinePerform the subtraction:\newlined(9474)=d24d^{(\frac{9}{4} - \frac{7}{4})} = d^{\frac{2}{4}}
  3. Combine Powers: Simplify the exponent: d24=d12d^{\frac{2}{4}} = d^{\frac{1}{2}} This is because 24\frac{2}{4} reduces to 12\frac{1}{2}.
  4. Simplify Exponent: We have now simplified the expression to: d12d^{\frac{1}{2}} This is the final answer, and it is in the form AA or AB\frac{A}{B} as requested, with AA being d12d^{\frac{1}{2}} and no BB since there is no denominator.
