Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinew32w52\frac{w^{\frac{3}{2}}}{w^{\frac{5}{2}}}\newline\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______\newline
  1. Simplify using properties of exponents: Simplify the expression using the properties of exponents. \newlinew32w52=w3252\frac{w^{\frac{3}{2}}}{w^{\frac{5}{2}}} = w^{\frac{3}{2} - \frac{5}{2}}\newline= w22w^{-\frac{2}{2}}\newline= w1w^{-1}
  2. Convert negative exponent: Convert the negative exponent to a positive exponent in the denominator. w1=1ww^{-1} = \frac{1}{w}
