Transcript text: Find the quotient and simplify the result.
\[
\frac{2 x^{5}}{5 x^{6}} \div \frac{6 x}{10 x^{4}}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To find the quotient and simplify the given expression, we first need to rewrite the division of fractions as multiplication by the reciprocal. Then, we simplify the resulting expression by canceling common factors in the numerator and the denominator. Finally, we simplify the expression by combining like terms.
Step 1: Rewrite the Expression
We start with the expression:
\[
\frac{2 x^{5}}{5 x^{6}} \div \frac{6 x}{10 x^{4}}
\]
This can be rewritten as:
\[
\frac{2 x^{5}}{5 x^{6}} \times \frac{10 x^{4}}{6 x}
\]
Step 2: Simplify the Expression
Now, we can simplify the expression:
\[
\frac{2 \cdot 10 \cdot x^{5} \cdot x^{4}}{5 \cdot 6 \cdot x^{6} \cdot x}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{20 x^{9}}{30 x^{7}}
\]
Step 3: Cancel Common Factors
Next, we can cancel common factors in the numerator and the denominator:
\[
\frac{20}{30} \cdot \frac{x^{9}}{x^{7}} = \frac{2}{3} \cdot x^{2}
\]
Final Answer
Thus, the simplified result is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{2 x^{2}}{3}}
\]
