1. Problem Description

Simplify the expression x3x22x2\frac{x^3 x^2}{2x^2}.

2. Solution Steps

First, simplify the numerator using the rule xaxb=xa+bx^a x^b = x^{a+b}:
x3x2=x3+2=x5x^3 x^2 = x^{3+2} = x^5
Now, the expression becomes:
x52x2\frac{x^5}{2x^2}
Next, simplify the fraction using the rule xaxb=xab\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}:
x52x2=12x5x2=12x52=12x3\frac{x^5}{2x^2} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{x^5}{x^2} = \frac{1}{2} x^{5-2} = \frac{1}{2} x^3

3. Final Answer

x32\frac{x^3}{2}
