Rewrite using a single positive exponent.
9^5/9^2
9^(5-2)
To rewrite the expression using a single positive exponent, we can subtract the exponents:
9^(5-2)
Simplifying the exponent:
9^3
To rewrite the expression using a single positive exponent, we need to combine the exponents in the numerator and denominator.
The expression is: 9^5 / 9^2
When we divide two numbers with the same base (here, 9), we subtract the exponents. Thus, we subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator.
9^5 / 9^2 = 9^(5 - 2)
Simplifying further:
9^(5 - 2) = 9^3
Therefore, the expression 9^5 / 9^2 can be rewritten as 9^3.
