Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newliner34r114\frac{r^{\frac{3}{4}}}{r^{\frac{11}{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. Use Exponent Property: We have the expression r34/r114r^{\frac{3}{4}} / r^{\frac{11}{4}}. To simplify this, we will use the property of exponents that states when dividing like bases, we subtract the exponents.
  2. Subtract Exponents: Subtract the exponents: (34)(114)(\frac{3}{4}) - (\frac{11}{4}).
  3. Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction: (34)(114)=84(\frac{3}{4}) - (\frac{11}{4}) = -\frac{8}{4}.
  4. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 84-\frac{8}{4} to get 2-2.
  5. Convert to Positive Exponent: Now we have r2r^{-2}, but we want the exponent to be positive. We can use the property of exponents that states a negative exponent means the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent.
  6. Convert to Positive Exponent: Now we have r2r^{-2}, but we want the exponent to be positive. We can use the property of exponents that states a negative exponent means the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent.Write r2r^{-2} as 1r2\frac{1}{r^2} to have a positive exponent.
