Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinez23z43\frac{z^{\frac{2}{3}}}{z^{\frac{4}{3}}}\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 Exponent Rule: Apply the exponent subtraction rule to simplify the expression. \newlinez23z43=z(2343)=z23\frac{z^{\frac{2}{3}}}{z^{\frac{4}{3}}} = z^{\left(\frac{2}{3}-\frac{4}{3}\right)} = z^{-\frac{2}{3}}
  3. Rewrite with Positive Exponent: Since we want the exponent to be positive, rewrite the expression with a positive exponent.\newlinez(23)=1z(23)z^{(-\frac{2}{3})} = \frac{1}{z^{(\frac{2}{3})}}
