Problem 9: $\boldsymbol{\frac{u^2 v^3}{4u^3 v^3}}$
Step 1: Simplify $u$ terms
Use the exponent rule $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m - n}$. For $u$: $\frac{u^2}{u^3}=u^{2-3}=u^{-1}=\frac{1}{u}$ (but we'll keep it as $u^{-1}$ for now and handle later to ensure positive exponents).
Step 2: Simplify $v$ terms
For $v$: $\frac{v^3}{v^3}=v^{3 - 3}=v^0 = 1$ (since any non - zero number to the power of 0 is 1).
Step 3: Combine and simplify
The expression becomes $\frac{1\times1}{4u^{1}\times1}=\frac{1}{4u}$ (we converted $u^{-1}$ to $\frac{1}{u}$ to have positive exponents).
Step 1: Simplify $x$ terms
Using $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m - n}$, for $x$: $\frac{x^3}{x^2}=x^{3-2}=x^1=x$.
Step 2: Simplify $y$ terms
For $y$: $\frac{y^3}{y}=y^{3 - 1}=y^2$.
Step 3: Multiply the coefficient and simplified terms
The coefficient is 2, so we have $2\times x\times y^2 = 2xy^2$.
Step 1: Simplify $m$ terms
Using $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m - n}$, for $m$: $\frac{m^2}{m^3}=m^{2-3}=m^{-1}=\frac{1}{m}$.
Step 2: Simplify $n$ terms
For $n$: $\frac{n^2}{n^4}=n^{2 - 4}=n^{-2}=\frac{1}{n^2}$.
Step 3: Simplify $p$ terms
For $p$: $\frac{p^2}{p^3}=p^{2-3}=p^{-1}=\frac{1}{p}$.
Step 4: Combine with the coefficient
The coefficient is 3, so we have $3\times\frac{1}{m}\times\frac{1}{n^2}\times\frac{1}{p}=\frac{3}{m n^2 p}$.
