x⁹/x²
To simplify the expression x⁹/x², we can subtract the exponents:
x⁹/x² = x^9-2 = x^7
Therefore, x⁹/x² simplifies to x^7.
h^14/h^5
To simplify the expression h^14/h^5, we can use the quotient rule of exponents:
h^14/h^5 = h^(14-5) = h^9
Therefore, h^14/h^5 simplifies to h^9.
4^4/4^6
To simplify the expression 4^4/4^6, we can use the quotient rule of exponents:
4^4/4^6 = 4^(4-6) = 4^(-2)
Recall that a negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of a power. Therefore:
4^(-2) = 1/4^2 = 1/16
Thus, 4^4/4^6 simplifies to 1/16.
5^0
Any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is 1. Hence,
5^0 = 1.
7^4/7^2 ___ 49
To solve 7^4/7^2, we can use the quotient rule of exponents:
7^4/7^2 = 7^(4-2) = 7^2
So, 7^4 / 7^2 simplifies to 49 (which is 7^2).
We can write 7^4 / 7^2 = 7^2 = 49
