To multiply terms with the same base, multiply the coefficients and add the exponents. To divide terms with the same base, divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents. For example, 3x2 x 2x2 = 6x4 and \({8x^5 \over 4x^2} \) = 2x(5-2) = 2x3.
What is \( \frac{2x^5}{7x^4} \)?

| \(\frac{2}{7}\)x | |
| 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)x-1 |
