Simplify this expression

After simplifying, the exponent of x is 33 and the exponent of y is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to simplify, we bring the x base together and the y base together

Recall from the law of indices;

x^a/x^b = x^(a-b)

and x^a * x^b = x^(a + b)

We shall be applying these here

Let us bring the x terms together

we have these as;

x^8/x^14 * 1/x^-39 = x^( 8 - 14 -(-39))

= x^(8 + 39-14) = x^33

for y, we have it that;

y^-26/y^-5 * 1/y^-21

= y^(-26 -(-5) - (-21)

= y^-26 + 5 + 21 = y^0

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
