Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinev32v52\frac{v^{\frac{3}{2}}}{v^{\frac{5}{2}}}\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. Identify Operation: Identify the operation to be applied with the exponents.\newlineWhen dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents.
  2. Apply Operation: Apply the operation to the exponents.\newlinev32v52=v(3252)=v22\frac{v^{\frac{3}{2}}}{v^{\frac{5}{2}}} = v^{\left(\frac{3}{2} - \frac{5}{2}\right)} = v^{-\frac{2}{2}}
  3. Simplify Exponent: Simplify the exponent. v(2/2)=v(1)=1vv^{(-2/2)} = v^{(-1)} = \frac{1}{v}
  4. Ensure Positivity: Ensure the exponent is positive.\newlineSince we assume all variables are positive, we can write the final answer with a positive exponent.\newline1v=v1\frac{1}{v} = v^{-1}
