Example Question #95 : Multiplying And Dividing Exponents

Simplify:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To simplify, we can subtract the numerator and denominator exponents from like terms, with negative exponents in the denominator adding to those in the numerator, and positive ones in the numerator subtracting from those in the denominator:

Next, we can distribute the negative exponent to the terms inside the parentheses (property of exponents):

Finally, add the exponents of the like base terms (property of exponents), because everything is multiplied together, but keep in mind that the q term is in the denominator (so its exponent is negative when in the numerator):
