Can someone explain how to do this????
Write each expression using a single exponent.
x^9/x^2
Answers:
x^11
x^7
7
x^5
To write the expression (x^9)/(x^2) using a single exponent, you need to understand the rules of exponents.
When dividing two terms with the same base (in this case, x), you subtract the exponents. So, (x^9)/(x^2) becomes x^(9-2), which simplifies to x^7.
Therefore, the expression (x^9)/(x^2) can be written as x^7.
x^(9-2) = x^7
because
x^a * x^b = x^(a+b)
like
2^2 * x^3 = 2^5 = 32 which is also 4*8
excuse me, typo
like
2^2 * 2^3 = 2^5 = 32 which is also 4*8
