Question

Divide.
4^2.4^6
O 4-3
O 4^3
O 4-4
O 4^4

The answer is C, 4^4

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

no, the answer is definitely NOT 4⁴.

4² is smaller than 4⁶, right ?

so, 4²/4⁶ must be smaller than 1.

remember, what we do with exponents when we multiply terms ? we add the exponents.

like 4²×4⁶ = 4⁸

and when we divide terms ? we subtract the exponents.

4²/4⁶ =

${4}^{ - 4}$

because 2 - 6 = -4
