Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinez43z73\frac{z^{\frac{4}{3}}}{z^{\frac{7}{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. \newlinez43z73=z(4373)=z33\frac{z^{\frac{4}{3}}}{z^{\frac{7}{3}}} = z^{\left(\frac{4}{3} - \frac{7}{3}\right)} = z^{-\frac{3}{3}}
  3. Simplify Expression: Simplify the exponent. z(3/3)=z(1)z^{(-3/3)} = z^{(-1)}
  4. Convert Negative Exponent: Convert the negative exponent to a positive exponent by taking the reciprocal. z1=1zz^{-1} = \frac{1}{z}
