Question

Simplify the following:

d) 7^8 divide by 7^6

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 4^12

B.6^7

C.8^7

D.7^2

Answer 2

A) 4^12 (because when u multiply two same numbers with different power, powers are added to each other and number is staying the same— a^b•a^c=a^b+c)

B) 6^7

C) 8^5 (because a^b:a^c=a^b-c, and since 8 is the same as 8^1, 8^6:8=8^5)

D) 7^2
