To calculate: The quotient on solving the expression
Answer to Problem 1DE
Solution:
The quotient of the expression
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given expression is
Formula Used:
The quotient
The rules for the sign on dividing are as below:
Step 1. If the signs of both the numbers are same, divide the absolute values and make the answer positive.
Step 2. If the signs of both the numbers are different, divide the absolute values and make the answer negative.
Calculation:
Consider the given expression that is
Consider the absolute values and compute the unique real number c as below,
The unique real number is 2.
The sign will be negative, since the two numbers are of opposite signs.
Then the quotient is as below:
Because,
Hence, the quotient of the expression
