Homework Statement
Simplify. Write as positive exponent
c(c^5/6)/c^2
Homework Equations
None really, just exponent laws.
The Attempt at a Solution
c(c^5/6) comes out as...
c^5/6
Dividing exponents requires subtracting them so...
5/6 - 2/1
Find common denominator...
5/6 - 12/6
Equals
-7/6
Turning the whole thing into
c^-7/6
This is completely wrong though as the answer is apparently
1/c^1/6
I would like to know how one comes to this conclusion please.
