Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the problem step by step, focusing on simplifying the expressions.
We are given two expressions to multiply, and the goal is to rewrite them with the simplest base and only positive exponents.
Expression 1 (left):
Expression 2 (right):
Steps for Simplification:
-
Simplify the constants:
- Multiply the numerical constants.
-
Combine powers of each variable (z, x, s, etc.):
- Use the laws of exponents: .
-
Ensure all exponents are positive:
- If any variable has a negative exponent, shift it to the denominator or numerator as needed.
Let me now compute the simplification step by step.The simplified expression is:
This is the most simplified form, with only positive exponents and all terms in the denominator.
