Example Question #142 : Exponential Operations

Solve:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When dividing expressions with the same variable, combine terms by subtracting the exponents, while leaving the variable unchanged. For this problem, we do that by subtracting 6-2, to get a new exponent of 4:

Example Question #142 : Exponents

Solve:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When dividing expressions with the same variable, combine terms by subtracting the exponents, while leaving the variable unchanged. For this problem, we do that by subtracting 12-6, to get a new exponent of 6:
