Question

simplify. express your answer using positive exponents. \\( 4k^{4} \div 8k \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply coefficient terms

$4 \times 6 = 24$

Step2: Multiply variable terms

$x^{-3} \times x = x^{-3+1} = x^{-2}$

Step3: Rewrite with positive exponents

$x^{-2} = \frac{1}{x^2}$

Step4: Combine coefficient and variable

$24 \times \frac{1}{x^2} = \frac{24}{x^2}$

Answer:

$\frac{24}{x^2}$
