Example Question #2331 : Sat Mathematics

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:

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 11-8, to get a new exponent of 3:

Example Question #2334 : Sat Mathematics

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 18-17, to get a new exponent of 1:

Example Question #2335 : Sat Mathematics

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 9-3, to get a new exponent of 6:

Example Question #2336 : Sat Mathematics

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 2-1, to get a new exponent of 1:

Example Question #151 : 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 (3/4)-(1/4), to get a new exponent of (2/4) or (1/2):

Example Question #152 : 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 (3/5)-(2/5), to get a new exponent of (1/5):

Example Question #563 : Algebra

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 3-5, to get a new exponent of -2. However, because the exponent is negative, we can place the new expression in the denominator of the fraction and make the exponent positive:

Example Question #564 : Algebra

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 2-6, to get a new exponent of -4. However, because the exponent is negative, we can place the new expression in the denominator of the fraction and make the exponent positive:
