Math Problem Statement

Simplify \(\frac{x^3}{x}\).

Solution

The given expression is:

x3x\frac{x^3}{x}

To simplify, we use the rule of exponents which states that when dividing powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents:

x3x=x31=x2\frac{x^3}{x} = x^{3-1} = x^2

Thus, the simplified expression is:

x2x^2
