The Problem: x^-3 x^2 r^-10 x / x^8 r^-2 r^-3 r^9
The Answer: 1 / 8^x r^14
Question #1: Combining like terms in the numerator, I get: x^-3 x^2, I get x^-1. How does the lone "x" at the end factor in?
Question #2: At what point do I know the answer will be a fraction with a 1 as the numerator?
Thank you. John Whitaker
