Question

Choose the correct simplification of: latexing..

Answer 1

\[3^8 \over 3^3\]

Answer 2

I think 15

Answer 3

We have a division of numbers with the same base: 3
So, we can use the property: a^b / a^c = a^(b - c) (Basically the same as multiplication)

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

so, 3^8 / 3^3 = 3^(8 - 3)
Then, we just have 8 -3 = 5
3^5

We just have to evaluate that for simplification...

Answer 6

k

Answer 7

Essentially the exponent means: 3*3*3*3*3 (3 multiplied to itself 5 times)
Using a calculator, I get 243

Answer 8

so answer is 243?

Answer 9

Yes, is that a choice?

Answer 10

yep
