Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinez34z14\frac{z^{\frac{3}{4}}}{z^{\frac{1}{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. Apply Exponent Rule: We have the expression:\newlinez34/z14z^{\frac{3}{4}}/z^{\frac{1}{4}}\newlineWhich operation will be applied with the exponents?\newlineWhen dividing powers with the same base, the exponents are subtracted.
  2. Perform Subtraction: Apply the exponent rule for division: z34/z14=z3414z^{\frac{3}{4}}/z^{\frac{1}{4}} = z^{\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4}} Perform the subtraction of the exponents. z3414=z24z^{\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4}} = z^{\frac{2}{4}}
  3. Simplify Exponent: Simplify the exponent: z24=z12z^{\frac{2}{4}} = z^{\frac{1}{2}} This is because 24\frac{2}{4} reduces to 12\frac{1}{2}.
