Simplify the following expression.[tex]4a^{-2} b[/tex]
Accepted Solution
A:
The first step for solving this expression is to express with a positive exponent using [tex] a^{-n} X \frac{1}{ a^{2}} X b[/tex]. 4 × [tex] \frac{1}{ a^{2} } [/tex] × b Now calculate the product. [tex] \frac{4X1b}{ a^{2} }[/tex] Before you get your final answer,, you must remember that any expression multiplied by 1 stays this same. This makes our final answer the following: [tex] \frac{4b}{ a^{2}}[/tex] Let me know if you have any further questions. :)
