Solve 3v^8/2(v)^2

$$\frac { 3 v ^ { 8 } } { 2 ( v ) ^ { 2 } }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3v^{6}}{2}$$

Steps for the Product of Two Exponentials

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\left(3v^{8}\right)^{1}\times \frac{1}{2v^{2}}$$

To raise the product of two or more numbers to a power, raise each number to the power and take their product.

$$3^{1}\left(v^{8}\right)^{1}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{v^{2}}$$

Use the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

$$3^{1}\times \frac{1}{2}\left(v^{8}\right)^{1}\times \frac{1}{v^{2}}$$

To raise a power to another power, multiply the exponents.

$$3^{1}\times \frac{1}{2}v^{8}v^{2\left(-1\right)}$$

Multiply 2 times -1.

$$3^{1}\times \frac{1}{2}v^{8}v^{-2}$$

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents.

$$3^{1}\times \frac{1}{2}v^{8-2}$$

Add the exponents 8 and -2.

$$3^{1}\times \frac{1}{2}v^{6}$$

Raise 3 to the power 1.

$$3\times \frac{1}{2}v^{6}$$

Multiply 3 times \frac{1}{2}.

$$\frac{3}{2}v^{6}$$

Steps for Quotient of Exponentials

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{3^{1}v^{8}}{2^{1}v^{2}}$$

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent.

$$\frac{3^{1}v^{8-2}}{2^{1}}$$

Subtract 2 from 8.

$$\frac{3^{1}v^{6}}{2^{1}}$$

Divide 3 by 2.

$$\frac{3}{2}v^{6}$$

Differentiate w.r.t. v

$$9v^{5}$$

Solution Steps

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}v}(\frac{3}{2}v^{8-2})$$

Do the arithmetic.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}v}(\frac{3}{2}v^{6})$$

The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is 0. The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.

$$6\times \frac{3}{2}v^{6-1}$$

Do the arithmetic.

$$9v^{5}$$
