Example Question #33 : How To Divide Exponents
Solve:
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:
Example Question #34 : How To Divide Exponents
Solve:
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 7-2, to get a new exponent of 5:
Example Question #35 : How To Divide Exponents
Solve:
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 #36 : How To Divide Exponents
Solve:
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 #37 : How To Divide Exponents
Solve:
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 #38 : How To Divide Exponents
Solve:
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 #39 : How To Divide Exponents
Solve:
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 #40 : How To Divide Exponents
Solve:
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 #41 : How To Divide Exponents
Solve:
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 #42 : How To Divide Exponents
Solve:
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:
