To simplify the expression ( frac{2w^6}{2w^2} ), follow these steps:
1. Divide the coefficients: The coefficients 2 and 2 cancel each other out (2/2 = 1).
2. Apply the properties of exponents: Use the rule ( frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} ) for the variable part:
[
w^{6-2} = w^4
]
Therefore, the simplified expression is ( w^4 ).
Remember to express your final answer using positive exponents. Here, ( w^4 ) already meets that requirement.
So, the final answer is:
[
w^4
]
