We want to simplify the expression:
( x⁵ / x² )⁴
We have to make use of some power rules.
Let's evaluate the expression inside parentheses. To do that you have to keep the base and subtract the exponents:
x⁵ / x² = x ⁵⁻² = x³
Now we have to evaluate:
( x³ )⁴
Now we have to keep the base and multiply the exponents:
( x³ )⁴ = x ³ * ⁴ = x ¹²
Answer: x ¹²
