Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.\newline4z22z2\frac{4z^2}{2z^2}
  1. Divide and Subtract: Simplify the expression by dividing the coefficients and subtracting the exponents of like bases.\newlineCalculation: 4z22z2=42z2z2 \frac{4z^2}{2z^2} = \frac{4}{2} \cdot \frac{z^2}{z^2}
  2. Simplify Coefficients and Powers: Simplify the coefficients and the powers of z.\newlineCalculation: 42=2 \frac{4}{2} = 2 and z2z2=z22=z0 \frac{z^2}{z^2} = z^{2-2} = z^0
  3. Recall Exponent Rule: Recall that any non-zero number raised to the power of 00 is 11.\newlineCalculation: z0=1 z^0 = 1
  4. Combine Results: Combine the results from the previous steps.\newlineCalculation: 21=2 2 \cdot 1 = 2
