Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinez136z56\frac{z^{\frac{13}{6}}}{z^{\frac{5}{6}}}\newlineWrite your answer in the form AA or A/BA/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. Combine Exponents: Write z136/z56z^{\frac{13}{6}} / z^{\frac{5}{6}} as a single power of zz by subtracting the exponents.\newlineWhen dividing powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents.\newlinez136/z56z^{\frac{13}{6}} / z^{\frac{5}{6}}\newline= z(13656)z^{(\frac{13}{6} - \frac{5}{6})}\newline= z86z^{\frac{8}{6}}
  2. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the exponent 86\frac{8}{6}. 86\frac{8}{6} can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 22. 86=43\frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3} So, z86z^{\frac{8}{6}} becomes z43z^{\frac{4}{3}}.
  3. Final Answer Format: Write the final answer in the form AA or A/BA/B with positive exponents.\newlineThe simplified form of z13/6/z5/6z^{13/6} / z^{5/6} is z4/3z^{4/3}.
