If they are wrong could you please explain ? :)
They are not wrong. Good job.
thank u!
To simplify the expressions, we can use the properties of exponents:
1) 4^5 / 4^5:
When you divide two exponential expressions with the same base, you subtract the exponents. So in this case, 4^5 divided by 4^5 is equal to 4^(5-5) = 4^0. Any number raised to the power of 0 is always equal to 1. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.
2) 4^7 / 4^9:
Similar to the previous question, when you divide two exponential expressions with the same base, you subtract the exponents. So in this case, 4^7 divided by 4^9 is equal to 4^(7-9) = 4^-2. To simplify further, you can rewrite 4^-2 as 1 / 4^2. Now, 4^2 is equal to 16. Therefore, 1 / 16 is the correct answer.
So the correct answers are:
1) 4^5 / 4^5 = 1
2) 4^7 / 4^9 = 1/16
