Transcript text: Use the quotient rule to simplify.
\[
\begin{array}{c}
\frac{z^{4}}{z^{2}} \\
\frac{z^{4}}{z^{2}}=\square
\end{array}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To simplify the given expression using the quotient rule, we subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.
Step 1: Identify the Expression
We start with the expression \( \frac{z^{4}}{z^{2}} \).
Step 2: Apply the Quotient Rule
Using the quotient rule for exponents, we simplify the expression by subtracting the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator:
\[
z^{4 - 2} = z^{2}
\]
