Mixing
Simplifying rational expresions
$begingroup$
There is a equation to simplify. It looks simple, but I'm confused:
$$ frac{28b^6}{7b} $$
I can obviously simplify and get:
$$ 4b^5 $$
The only problem I'm facing is that, in the given expression, there is the value 7b in denominator. Do I have to include a domain?:
$$bneq0 $$

If you're solving an equation with this expression in it, you need to remember that $b$ cannot be zero. That is, $0$ isn't a solution.
