Question

How do you simplify `c^3d^2(c^-2d^4)`?

Answer 1

`cd^6`

Have a look at how I did it. There are some useful tricks in it

Explanation:

The bracket in this format is 'multiply' and `c^(-2)" is " 1/(c^2)`

So what we have is: `c^3xxd^2xx1/(c^2)xxd^4`

`(c^3)/(c^2)xxd^2xxd^4`

`c^(3-2)xxd^(2+4)`

`cd^6`
