Math Problem Statement

(2a^7)(3a^2)/ 6a^3

Solution

Let's simplify the expression:

(2a7)(3a2)6a3\frac{(2a^7)(3a^2)}{6a^3}

Step 1: Multiply the terms in the numerator

(2a7)(3a2)=6a7+2=6a9(2a^7)(3a^2) = 6a^{7+2} = 6a^9

So the expression becomes: 6a96a3\frac{6a^9}{6a^3}

Step 2: Simplify the constants

The 6 in the numerator and denominator cancel out: 6a96a3=a9a3\frac{6a^9}{6a^3} = \frac{a^9}{a^3}

Step 3: Apply the exponent rule for division

When dividing terms with the same base, subtract the exponents: a9a3=a93=a6\frac{a^9}{a^3} = a^{9-3} = a^6

Final Answer:

a6a^6
