Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. \newlinec52−d3\frac{c^5}{2} - \frac{d}{3}
  1. Identify LCD: Identify the least common denominator (LCD) for the fractions.\newlineThe denominators are 22 and 33, so the LCD is 2×3=62 \times 3 = 6.
  2. Rewrite fractions: Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator of 66. For the first fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 33 to get 3c56\frac{3c^5}{6}. For the second fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 22 to get 2d6\frac{2d}{6}.
  3. Combine fractions: Combine the fractions over the common denominator.\newline(3c56−2d6=3c5−2d6)(\frac{3c^5}{6} - \frac{2d}{6} = \frac{3c^5 - 2d}{6})
  4. Check for simplification: Check if the numerator can be simplified further.\newlineThe terms in the numerator, 3c53c^5 and 2d2d, do not have common factors other than 11, so the numerator cannot be simplified further.
