The quotient of 3d3 and 9d5 is
The key word quotient means division so the problem becomes 1d3-5/ 5. Divide the coef?cients: 1d3/3d-5 . While dividing like bases, subtract the exponents: 1d-2/3 ; simplify: 1d3/3. A variable in the numerator along with a negative exponent is equal to the similar variable in the denominator along with the opposite sign-in that case, a positive sign on the exponent:
